About this map

Mize serves as the primary hub in this portion of Smith County, situated near the intersection of several local routes like W Magnolia St and Oak St. The landscape is defined by the valley of Oakhay Creek and its various tributaries, including Sullivans Hollow Creek and Bunker Hill-Mill Creek. This area, famously known as Sullivans Hollow, contains numerous family-named landmarks such as the Alex Sullivan Cemetery and Thomas F. Sullivan Cemetery, which are central to the local genealogical record.

Religious and community life is anchored by several established congregations, most notably the Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church and the New Sardis Baptist Church. Further south, the boundary between Smith and Covington counties divides the rural terrain, where smaller settlements and burial grounds like Berkhalter Cemetery and Shiloh Cemetery are found along Salem School Rd. The presence of Lake Ross Barnett and numerous named creeks illustrates the well-watered nature of this agricultural and timber-producing region.
