About this map

Upper Bradley Place and several other family-named homesteads like Gillis Place and Heard Place define the rural character of Stewart County along the river corridor. The Chattahoochee River serves as the primary geographical anchor, with historical points of access such as McMurrons Landing, Banks Landing, and Lawsons Landing marking its eastern bank. These landings suggest a legacy of river-based transit and commerce that once connected these inland agricultural plots to the broader waterway network.

Local genealogy and community history are preserved in the various small burial grounds and landmarks scattered across the landscape, including Mathis Cemetery and the Irena Methodist Church Cemetery. To the south, the settlement of Union sits near the confluence of local routes like Mount Zion Church Rd, while the winding paths of Hannahatchee Creek and Hichitee Creek drain the interior. The presence of numerous named sites such as Perkins Place and Childs Place reflects a pattern of long-standing family landholdings in this part of Georgia.
