2020 Map of Bleecker

About this map

The Salem-Shotwell Covered Bridge spans the northern reaches of this Lee County landscape, marking a historic crossing point near the settlement of Salem. This 2020 survey of the Bleecker quadrangle illustrates a rural network of small communities and family-named landmarks, including Prince Crossroads and Moffits Mill. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Little Uchee Creek and Wacoochee Cr, which create a complex drainage pattern across the township. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial grounds such as Salem Cem, Concord Cem, and Antioch Cem. These features, alongside newer developments near Smiths Station, reveal the long-standing settlement patterns that have persisted from the nineteenth century into the modern era.
