About this map

The Pea River and its numerous tributaries, such as Flat Creek and Sandy Cr, define the drainage patterns around the city of Samson. This modern survey reveals a landscape where traditional river crossings and small-scale water features persist alongside the grid of the city. Notable landmarks include the Hays Ferry Bridge and the Logan Field airfield, reflecting both historic transit and 20th-century aviation infrastructure.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the rural countryside, including Oak Ridge Cem, Travelers Rest Cem, and Liberty Chapel Cem. The proliferation of managed water bodies, from Pettits Fishponds to Sellers Fishpond, suggests a local economy tied to aquaculture and recreation. The map meticulously details the street plan of Samson, from W Main St to S Canal St, illustrating the community's development as a regional hub in Geneva County.
