2020 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

The Bowie River and its various tributaries, such as Big Swamp Cr and Terrible Cr, define the drainage and topography of this portion of Covington County. This survey of Williamsburg and Collins captures the rural character of the area, punctuated by a dense network of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. Many of these, including the Williamsburg General Cem and Hemeter Cem, indicate a landscape where family lineages are deeply rooted. The road network connects small communities like Kola and Seminary, following the natural contours of the land between creek basins. Local industry and agriculture are implied by the winding local routes like Cook McDonald Rd and Harvey Sanford Rd, which link scattered homesteads and churches to the primary thoroughfares running through Collins.
