2012 Map of Lessley

About this map

Buffalo River meanders through the heart of this Wilkinson County landscape, defining a terrain shaped by both slow-moving water and the region's energy economy. In the early 21st century, the area around the settlement of Lessley shows a complex network of local roads and extraction sites, including the Alligator Bayou Oil Field, North Lessley Oil Field, and Pleasant Valley Oil Field. These industrial footprints are interspersed among traditional landmarks like the Courtney Cem and various watercourses such as Percy Cr and White Cr. Near the western edge, the presence of Foster Lake and Alligator Bayou reflects the lower-lying river bottom environment. The road network, from Woodlawn Rd to the Old Highway 24 Loop W, provides a look at the modern rural infrastructure and residential clusters that have developed around these historic family-named locations.
