2012 Map of Sable

About this map

The Francis Creek Oil Field and a network of creeks and small lakes define this landscape in Clarke County. The area is marked by rural crossroads and small communities such as Sable, Roy, and Devoe. These settlements are linked by a dense grid of county roads that navigate a terrain carved by watercourses like Archusa Cr, Chinquapin Cr, and Rolling Cr. Local history is anchored by several long-established burial grounds, including New Hope Cem and Union Cem. The presence of Briar Patch Lake and Coker Lake suggests a landscape where water and industry have shaped the local economy. Genealogists and historians can trace the intricate road network that connects family landmarks like O'Neil Bridge to the quiet hamlets and resource sites that have long sustained this part of Mississippi.
