About this map

The settlement of Biscoe serves as the primary hub in this corner of Montgomery County, defined by a grid of residential streets like Green St and Church St situated near Lick Creek. To the west and south, the landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the Little River and its various tributaries including Densons Creek and Cedar Creek. Historical industry and water management are evident at the Smitherman Millpond Dam and the Lewis Millpond Dam on Little Creek, which created the Lewis Mill Pond.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family burial grounds scattered across the rural acreage, such as Sedberry Cemetery, Gillis Cemetery, and Munn Cemetery. Smaller communities like Capelsie near the Capelsie Lake Dam and Onvil further south provide a look at the dispersed settlement patterns of the region. The geography is further detailed by numerous named branches, including Spencer Branch and Lucky Branch, which fed the local millpond economy.
