About this map

Black Rock and the surrounding Lawrence County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Black River and a sophisticated network of water management reservoirs. The landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including the Powhatan Cem and Old Bethel Cem near the western hills. The small communities of Denton and Eaton serve as central nodes for the agricultural lands, which are crisscrossed by named routes like Bethel Cemetery Rd and Robinson Bay Rd.

Water management is a primary feature of the local topography, evidenced by the series of numbered basins including Flat Creek Site Two Reservoir and Flat-Creek Site Four Reservoir. These structures, along with larger bodies like Lake Charles, contrast with the natural bottomlands of Sawlog Slough and Hill Slough. Genealogists will find several family-named cemeteries, such as McNutt Cem and Sharp Cem, preserved within this rural grid.
