About this map

Roberta and Knoxville anchor the northeastern portion of this Crawford County landscape, where the local economy transitions from the developed Roberta-Industrial Park-Airport to the expansive rural acreage bordering the Flint River. This waterway forms a primary natural boundary in the southwest, crossing at Hawkins Bridge near the Hawkins Grave of Colonel Benjamin Hawkins. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including Culpepper Creek, Avery Creek, and Big Branch Lewis Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of outlying communities like Francisville, Hammett, and Gaillard.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and historical burial sites. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered across the quadrangle, such as Spillers Cem, Lowe Cem, and the Flowers Family Cem, providing critical touchpoints for tracing local lineages. The transportation network is a mix of state routes and named country roads like Walker Chapel Rd and Benjamin Hawkins Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and transit history.
