2015 Map of Raleigh

About this map

The town of Raleigh and the surrounding pine-clad hills of Smith County are documented here during the early twenty-first century. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of Oakohay Creek and its many tributaries, including Twomile Creek and Harrison Branch, which carve through the dense woodlands of the Bienville National Forest. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the rural countryside, such as the Henderson Family Cemetery and Moulder Cemetery, indicating a deeply rooted local lineage and a settlement pattern of small, dispersed homesteads.
