2018 Map of Bent Oak

About this map

The Golden Triangle Regional Airport serves as a modern anchor for this Lowndes County landscape, situated near the small settlements of Billups and Bent Oak. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and seasonal waterways, including the winding Motley Slough, Gilmer Cr, and Magowah Cr. This area maintains a strong connection to its local history through several family and community burial grounds, such as Motley Cem, Prairie Hill Cem, and Wicks Cem. Transportation patterns are evidenced by the transition from rural local roads like Artesia Rd and Mims Rd to the more industrial infrastructure of the Railroad Spur Dr. The map illustrates a contemporary Southern landscape where large-scale aviation infrastructure coexists with traditional cemetery sites and established creekside boundaries.
