2012 Map of Double Springs

About this map

Double Springs and Lebanon anchor this 2012 study of the Mississippi backcountry north of Sturgis. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Trim Cane Cr, Big Cr, and Cypress Cr, which carve through a mosaic of woodlots and rural clearings. For genealogists, the map is an exceptional resource, meticulously locating several family and community burial grounds such as Double Springs Cem, McMinn Cem, and Mount Olive Cem. The settlement at Pleasant Ridge in the southeast corner marks a significant crossroads near Pleasant Ridge Cem. Modern infrastructure like Sturgis Maben Rd and Sturgis W Point Rd follows older travel corridors, connecting these scattered rural clusters and providing a clear view of the area's late 20th-century development patterns.
