About this map

Smackover Creek and its many tributaries, including Blake Creek and Crooked Creek, define the rural landscape of Columbia County in this detailed 2011 topographic study. The area is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, with the North Stephens Oil and Gas Field in the northeast and the College Hill Oil and Gas Field to the southwest. These industrial zones sit alongside small, established communities such as Saint Matthews and College Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Watts Cemetery, Tick Hill Cemetery, and Gatlin Cemetery. The map also identifies water management infrastructure such as the Lake Bradshaw Dam and the Fincher Lake Dam. This record of the early 21st century highlights a region where timber, oil, and small-town settlements intersect among the bottomlands of Little Smackover Creek.
