2015 Map of Barge Lake

About this map

The boundary between Winston Co and Noxubee Co defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where a dense network of creeks and drainage basins forms the headwaters of the regional river system. The terrain is notably marked by historical infrastructure and local landmarks, including the Barge Firetower Rd and the eponymous Barge Lake in the southern reaches. For genealogists and local historians, several community burial grounds are documented, such as Antioch Cem, Harrington Cem, and Sixteen Cem. The presence of Bombing Range Rd and Dummy Line Rd suggests a landscape once shaped by military activity and timber rail corridors. Water is a constant presence, with Loakfoma Cr, Yellow Cr, and Ball Ground Cr winding through the sections, often paralleled by rural routes like Louisville Brooksville Rd.
