About this map

McGee serves as the central hub of this 1963 survey, situated along the winding course of McGee Creek where the topography begins to transition toward the lowlands of the Mingo Swamp. The map provides a detailed view of a rural community defined by its spiritual and educational foundations, featuring several country churches such as New Home Ch and Shady Dell Ch, alongside the McGee Sch.

To the south and east, the landscape is dominated by the sprawling conservation areas of the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge and Duck Creek State W R. These wetlands stand in contrast to the higher ground to the north, where Gypsy Lookout Tower overlooks the drainages of Rocky Creek and Gribler Creek. Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds like Payne Cem and Bright Prospect Cem, marking the long-standing settlements within the Cowan and Lost Creek districts.
