2024 Map of Smithville East

About this map

Smithville and the crossroads of Maddox anchor this rural landscape along the boundary between Sumter and Lee Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Muckalee Creek and Philema Creek, which create a complex network of wetlands and drainage through the coastal plain. For family historians, the presence of several established burial sites, including Anthony Cem, Cowart Cem, and Deidrich Cem, offers vital links to the area's ancestral residents. The New Corinth Baptist Church Cem serves as a significant community landmark near the center of the quadrangle. Local agricultural patterns are evident in the dense network of rural routes such as Bowen Rd and Wilson Battle Rd, while recreational or private waters like Ballinger Lake and Virgil Holmen Lake are scattered across the northern and central sections.
