1974 Map of Lake Mike Connor

About this map

Lake Mike Connor serves as a central landmark in this 1974 survey of the borderlands between Covington and Jefferson Davis counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Bowie Creek and its many tributaries, including Dry Creek and Santee Branch. Small communities and agricultural outposts like McRaney and Terrell are anchored by a dense network of country churches and family burial grounds. Notable landmarks for local historians include Goodhope Ch Victory Ch, Santee Ch, and Sweetwater Ch, alongside several remote graveyards such as Graves Cem and Old Chapel Cem. The presence of Cantwell Mill and numerous Gravel Pits suggests a local economy tied to the land and timber, while the Bassfield corporate boundary marks the southern edge of the map's settled interior.
