2024 Map of Sanford

About this map

Sanford and Sugar Hill anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Stewart, Quitman, and Randolph counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of watercourses, including Hodchodkee Creek and Arkansas Creek, which carve through the countryside alongside smaller tributaries like Foreman Mill Branch and Bladen Creek. This modern survey reveals a persistent pattern of rural life, with community hubs centered around longtime institutions such as Elam Baptist Church and the dual cemeteries of Union Methodist Church Cem West and Union Methodist Church Cem East in the settlement of Union. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of family-named landmarks such as Hogan Family Cem and the Davis Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, documenting the cultural and family heritage of this corner of southwest Georgia.
