2022 Map of Sugar Tree

About this map

Sugar Tree and the surrounding hollows of Decatur and Benton counties define this landscape, where the ridge-and-valley topography dictates the placement of long-standing communities. Settled areas like Mcllwain and Cozette are connected by a network of winding county roads, many bearing family names that reflect the genealogical depth of the region. The map shows a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Bawcum Cem, Old Morgans Creek Cem, and Hartley Cem, often located near rural worship centers like Suttles Chapel or Oak Grove Church.
