About this map

Lone Star and the surrounding rural communities of Covington County are defined by a network of family-linked landmarks and small settlements. The landscape is marked by numerous historic burial grounds, including Lone Star Cem, Friendship Cem, and Saint Paul Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. The terrain is bisected by several watercourses such as Terrible Cr, McKinnis Cr, and Okatoma Creek, which have historically influenced the placement of homes and road networks.

Small clusters of activity are visible at Friendship, Mount Pleasant, and Cooley Springs. The presence of Oakdale Cem and Rock Hill Cem suggests early nodes of settlement that persist through local place names. This 2015 survey provides a modern view of these long-standing rural neighborhoods, preserving the location of local landmarks like the Mount Pleasant Cem and the small lake at Dry Cr Lake.
