1974 Map of Whigham

About this map

Whigham serves as the central hub for this portion of Grady County, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad dictates the local geometry of settlement and commerce. In the mid-1970s, the landscape is defined by a dense network of small rural institutions and family-named landmarks. Numerous country churches like Spring Hill Ch and Mt Pilgrim Ch anchor the surrounding timber and farm country, while several cemeteries, including Woodlawn Cem and New Hope Cem, provide essential data points for local genealogists. The map also captures smaller communities and named sites such as Boydville, Roddenberry, and the curiously named Peoples Still. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system featuring Tired Creek, Wolf Creek, and Sweetwater Branch, creating the varied elevation seen at Curry Hill.
