About this map

Marquez and Flynn anchor the northwest and southeast corners of this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of creeks and small impoundments. The terrain is bisected by the historic Old Flynn Rd, a route that connects the scattered homesteads and local roads of central Leon County. Genealogists will find the locations of Green Cemetery and White Cemetery particularly useful for tracing family ties in this agrarian region.

The water management of the area is evident in the numerous dams and named water bodies, including Karnei Lake, Cheney Lake, and Frossard Lake. These features, along with many smaller unnamed ponds, suggest a landscape heavily utilized for ranching or local agriculture. Multiple drainage systems, such as Brushy Creek, Clear Creek, and Tomlin Branch, weave through the territory, highlighting the natural hydrology that shaped settlement patterns between the small communities of Margie and its neighbors.
