About this map

The boundary lines of Monroe, Crawford, and Bibb counties converge in this landscape of rural settlements and family burial grounds north of Sandy Point. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Echeconnee Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Echeconnee Creek and Sweetwater Creek. This drainage system created numerous basins for small water bodies like Hatcher Lake, Mosely Lake, and Walker Lake.

For those researching family history, the map provides a remarkable density of named burial sites, such as the Anderson-Barnes-Bagley Cemetery near Dyas and the McCallum-Hart Cemetery further east. These cemeteries, alongside names like the O'Neal Family Cemetery and A G Smith Family Cemetery, indicate long-standing land ownership patterns and generational ties to the area around Moran. Rural life is centered on a network of named roads like Salem Church Road and Hopewell Road East.
