Crown Hill is among Albany's largest cemeteries, with roughly nine thousand recorded burials on its grounds at the north end of the city. Its best-known resident is William Fort "Bill" McAfee (1907-1958), an Albany native who pitched in Major League Baseball. The cemetery is large enough that a hand-drawn map, preserved in a book at the Dougherty County Library, has been used to help visitors find their way around the site.
