2011 Map of Bleecker

About this map

The Salem-Shotwell Covered Bridge spans Wacoochee Creek in this 2011 topographic survey, serving as a prominent landmark in the rural landscape of Lee County. This area is characterized by a dense network of local routes, including Lee Road 145 and Lee Road 240, which connect small settlements like Salem, Bleecker, and Shotwell. The map highlights several points of genealogical interest, such as Concord Cemetery and Antioch Cemetery, alongside historical commerce sites like Moffits Mill on the banks of Little Uchee Creek. The hydrology of the region is significantly managed by several named dams, including the W B Cogdell Dam and Hubbard Dam, the latter creating Hubbard Lake. These features, along with crossings like Prince Crossroads and Meadows Crossroads, illustrate a community structured around its watercourses and a longstanding agricultural and transit network.
