2011 Map of Millport NW

About this map

The rural landscape of northwest Lamar County is defined by a dense network of country roads and creek valleys where the settlement of Molloy and the community of Star serve as local anchors. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Nebo Cemetery, Lampkin Cemetery, and Sailor Cemetery, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research. The map reveals an active energy economy through several designated areas including the Yellow Creek Oil Field, the Star Oil and Gas Field, and the McGee Lake Gas Field. Water management is prominent in the region's geography, featuring engineered structures like the Rogers Lake Dam and the Stillman Ditch, which channel the flow through a series of creeks like Wilson Creek and Yellow Creek. This survey captures the traditional agricultural and resource-based character of the Alabama-Mississippi borderlands.
