2019 Map of Locust

About this map

Rocky River and Dutch Buffalo Cr converge in this Piedmont landscape, defining the boundaries and drainage of the region between Georgeville and Locust. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these watercourses, with Stanfield and Red Cross anchoring the southern and eastern reaches. A notable concentration of small lakes and reservoirs, such as Furr Lake, Smiths Lake, and Oak Cliff Lake, points to the agricultural and residential development typical of this part of the state. The inclusion of the Pharr Family Preserve Trail along the riverbanks highlights modern conservation efforts in an area historically shaped by milling, as evidenced by the namesake Barriers Mill to the north. Surveyed in the late 2010s, the map provides a look at the suburban expansion and the intricate network of secondary roads, like Barrier Georgeville Rd, that connect these historically distinct communities.
