About this map

Sanford serves as a central point in this rural landscape where Stewart, Quitman, and Randolph counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Hodchodkee Cr and its many tributaries like Wolf Cr and Arkansas Cr. This network historically influenced the placement of local crossings, such as Ray Bridge and Lawson Bridge. Small communities like Union and Sugar Hill anchor the southern portion of the map, connected by a web of local roads including Lower Lumpkin Rd and Union Church Rd.

Genealogists may find value in the specific placement of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Hogan Cem in the northwest and County Line Cem to the east. The presence of Pearces Pond and Phillips Pond further illustrates the significance of water management and local drainage in this agricultural region, which remains largely shaped by its natural topography rather than dense urban development.
