1983 Map of Coker Lake

About this map

Cossar State Park and the northeastern reaches of Enid Lake anchor this 1980s landscape in Yalobusha County, where the terrain transitions from managed state recreation areas into the protected woods of the Holly Springs National Forest. A notable diagonal line marks the Indian Treaty Boundary, a historical dividing line that still influences the property boundaries and road alignments today. Scattered throughout the hills and creek bottoms are numerous small community landmarks, including Robinson Chapel, Philadelphia Ch, and Zion Grove Ch. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, from the larger Chestnut Lake and Coker Lake to the meandering Tillatoba Creek. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, such as the Fords Well Cem, Salem Cem, and Sayles Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the region's rural settlement history.
