2011 Map of Norristown

About this map

Norristown and nearby Norristown Junction center this Emanuel County landscape during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Ohoopee River, which is joined by numerous tributaries including Yam Grandy Creek, Open Creek, and Covena Branch. The area's agricultural and rural character is reflected in the network of local roads such as Halls Bridge Rd and Coleman Chapel Rd, which connect small family and community burial grounds. For those researching local families, the map identifies several resting places including Lambs Cemetery, Old Thompson Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery. Several man-made reservoirs like McNeely Lake, Beasley Lake, and Youngblood Lake are found along the creeks, illustrating the local water management and land use patterns of this coastal plain region.
