2020 Map of Oak Ridge

About this map

Oak Ridge and the surrounding Warren County landscape are defined by a high concentration of ancestral burial sites, indicating long-established family landholdings and rural communities. This survey reveals a terrain carved by numerous drainages, including Ballground Cr and Summer Seat Cr, where small settlements like Rawhide and Flowers developed along ridge roads. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies family-named landmarks such as Brickhouse Cem, Lewis Cem, Parker Cem, and Hackler Cem. The intricate network of local routes, including Flowers Hill Rd and Dillon Ridge Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, illustrating how the geography dictated the settlement patterns of these upland Mississippi communities. The presence of the Warren Co Hinds Co boundary in the southeast corner further situates these rural hubs within their broader administrative context.
