About this map

The settlement of Oloh serves as the focal point for this Lamar County landscape, situated along the historic corridor of Old Hwy 24. This area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the winding paths of Black Creek and Little Black Creek, which are fed by numerous tributaries such as Buckhalter Mill Creek and Hartfield Mill Creek. The drainage patterns and road names, such as Mardis Sawmill Rd, suggest a landscape shaped by rural industry and timber.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by a significant concentration of small burial grounds. Genealogists can find multiple distinct sites including Midway Cem Number One, Midway Cem Number Two, and Midway Cem Number Three, along with family-named locations like Russell Cem, Slade Cem, and the Martin-Lott Cem. These markers, paired with the preservation of old routes like Old Salt Rd, provide a clear view of the area's ancestral settlement patterns.
