2018 Map of Lake Mike Connor

About this map

Cantwell Mill and the expansive waters of Lake Mike Connor define the rural landscape of Jefferson Davis and Covington Counties. The Bouie River meanders across the territory, joined by numerous tributaries including Santee Br, Colbert Br, and the aptly named Terrible Cr. This region is characterized by a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, serving as a significant record of local genealogy. From the Loflin-Applewhite Cem in the south to the Old Chapel Cem further north, these sites are interspersed among small settlements like Bassfield, Deen, and Terrell. The map details an established network of country roads, such as Three Notch Rd and Blackjack Rd, which connect these dispersed homesteads and landmarks like Watsons Mill Pond and Sweet Water Cem, reflecting the agricultural and communal foundations of south-central Mississippi.
