About this map

The eastern reaches of Opelika and the surrounding Lee County landscape are defined by a network of creeks and small, established communities. Residential areas like West Ridge and Crooked Creek sit alongside the rail-associated Roanoke Junction, reflecting the area's growth patterns near the Georgia border. The terrain is drained by several branches of Halawake Cr and Little Halawake Cr, where the local economy was once anchored by sites like Beans Mill.

For family historians, the landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including Sweet Hope Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Union Grove Cem. These cemeteries, along with named locations like Sommerset Strip and Pine Grove, provide a clear view of the rural settlement patterns that persist northeast of the city. The boundary between Chambers County and Lee County is also clearly delineated, crossing through the northern portion of the map.
