About this map

Lone Star and the surrounding rural pockets of Covington County are defined by a network of family-held cemeteries and small crossroads settlements. This 2012 survey reveals a landscape where community life is anchored by locations like Mount Pleasant, Friendship, and Cooley Springs. These nodes are often identified by their namesake burial grounds, such as Friendship Cem and Cooley Springs Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in this part of Mississippi.

The terrain is dissected by numerous watercourses, including Lenards Mill Cr and Little Terrible Cr, which influenced the placement of early infrastructure and settlements like Arbo and Rock Hill. Near the northern boundary, Dry Creek Lake and Dry Cr provide a distinct contrast to the southern reach of the quadrangle. The map documents a predominantly agricultural and residential layout, where long-standing road names like Chain Warren Rd and Johnson-Stewart RD hint at the area's ancestral landholdings.
