2012 Map of White Oak

About this map

The Strong River and White Oak Cr define this rural landscape on the border of Smith and Rankin counties. Small communities like White Oak, Gunn, and Traxler are linked by a network of local roads including Smith Line Rd and Overby Rd. The map reveals a land structured by family heritage and resource extraction, notably the Puckett Oil and Gas Field in the northwest. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, such as Old Field Cem, Miley Cem, and Everett Cem, which mark the presence of established families near the winding courses of Jump Cr and Rocky Cr. The elevated terrain of Heater Ridge and the standing Coursey Lookout Tower near Heater provide landmarks in a region largely defined by its timber and agricultural heritage.
