2014 Map of Lake Collins

About this map

Muckalee Cr and its tributaries define the rolling landscape west of Americus in this early 21st-century documentation of Sumter County. The map details a transition from the urban edge of the county seat to a rural interior punctuated by small settlements and family-named infrastructure. McMath Millpond and Parkers Mill Cr suggest a legacy of water-powered industry, while localized aviation is represented by Peterson Field Airport and Lowell Field Airport. Genealogists may find particular value in the locations of Antioch Cem near the creek and Benevolence Cem in the southeastern quadrant. The settlement patterns of New Point and Thalean appear alongside a network of established country roads, including Youngs Mill Rd and Tallent Store Rd, which connect the outlying farms to the residential developments around Lake Collins and Statham Lake.
