2010 Map of Stoneham

About this map

The settlement of Stoneham serves as a central point in this Grimes County landscape, where small communities and family burial grounds are dispersed among a complex network of creeks. In the early 21st century, the area around Whitehall and Yarboro remains defined by its water management and agricultural heritage, with Yarboro Dam and Koehl Lake Dam creating significant local reservoirs. Genealogy researchers will find several well-preserved legacy sites including Harmony Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Simmons Chapel Cemetery. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Beason Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Rocky Creek, which feed into larger water bodies such as Lake Winona. The placement of these landmarks highlights the persistent rural character of the region, where land ownership and community identity are still anchored to named natural features and historical family plots.
