About this map

Grandberry Crossroads and Sigma anchor this 2014 survey of the Alabama-Georgia borderlands, where the boundary between Henry and Houston counties divides a landscape of creek-fed agricultural lands. The map details a network of rural communities, including Hebron, Williams, and Pearce, which are connected by a web of local routes such as Al-134 and E State Highway 52. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous burial grounds like Hebron Cem and Sardis Cem.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Omusee Creek flowing toward Columbia and the Chattahoochee River just off-sheet. Smaller drainage systems like Hurricane Cr and Stevenson Cr define the drainages between ridges. The presence of Sigma Pit Rd hints at local extractive industry, while named water bodies like Smith Lake and Gamble Pond offer points of interest for those tracing the evolution of local land use in the wiregrass region.
