2018 Map of Center Ridge

About this map

Center Ridge serves as the focal point for this rural pocket of Smith County, where a network of county roads like Co RD 82 and Co RD 87 connects small communities and agricultural lands. The landscape is defined by the swampy bottomlands of the Leaf River and its numerous tributaries, including West Tallahala Creek and Keys Mill Cr. For those researching local history, the presence of family and community burial sites like Burnett Cem and Ditch Cem provides valuable genealogical anchors. The terrain transitions from the low wetlands of Beaverdam Cr to the prominent height of Flat Rock Hill in the northwest corner. This map documents a quiet, river-dependent region where the Beaverdam Baptist Church Cem remains a central landmark for the surrounding countryside.
