About this map

The Cossatot River and its intricate network of tributaries, including the Little Cossatot River and White Oak Slough, dominate this Sevier County landscape. The town of Lockesburg serves as a central hub, with its street grid including W Main and E Magnolia clearly defined. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, such as the Lockesburg Cem and the Old Union Cem situated to the northeast.

A notable geographic feature is the collection of named sloughs—Sandy Slough, Borne Mill Slough, and Johnson Slough—which indicate a bottomland environment prone to shifting water levels. Smaller settlements like Bellville, Milrose, and Oak Grove are scattered throughout, connected by a network of rural routes including the significantly named Old Confederate Rd. These patterns of settlement and drainage reflect the area's long-standing reliance on its river systems for both navigation and agriculture.
