About this map

The town of Whigham serves as the focal point of this Grady County landscape, situated at the junction of several regional routes and the local rail line. A network of cemeteries, including Woodlawn Cem, Whigham Cem, and Griffin Memorial Gardens, suggests a long-established community structure centered around these quiet family and memorial grounds. To the west, the settlement of Boydville marks the transition into more rural drainage basins, where Attapulgus Cr and Sweetwater Br wind through the terrain.

Water features define the northern and eastern reaches, from the expanse of Terrell Lake to the meandering paths of Black Cr and Buss Cr. The topography is punctuated by Curry Hill and various depressions like Lime Sink, illustrating the unique karst-influenced geography of southwest Georgia. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous smaller burial sites like Poplar Springs Cem and Paulk Cem that dot the countryside, often located near long-standing roads like Open Pond Rd.
