About this map

Lockesburg serves as the primary hub of this Sevier County landscape, where the local road network converges at the intersection of US Highway 71 and W Main. The surrounding countryside is defined by the complex hydrology of the Cossatot River and its many distributaries, including White Oak Slough, Sandy Slough, and Borne Mill Slough. These slow-moving water bodies create a distinctive swampy terrain that has historically influenced the placement of settlements and transport routes.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-documented burial sites including Lockesburg Cem, Old Union Cem, and Bellville Cem. To the west, the landscape transitions toward the smaller communities of Dilworth and Stringtown, while the southern reaches feature the ancient Nobles Mound and the small settlement of Pennys. The presence of labels like Old Confederate Rd and Tram Rd points to the area's deeper history of transport and industry, from early military passages to later timber or agricultural extraction routes.
