2024 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg and the surrounding piney woods of Covington County are characterized by a dense network of family cemeteries and rural congregations. The landscape is defined by the Bowie River and its numerous tributaries, including Terrible Creek and Big Swamp Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and road networks like the Seminary-Williamsburg Rd. Local genealogy is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as the Coulter Family Cem, Atwood Family Cem, and the Old Williamsburg Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the transition into the Seminary area, where the Seminary at River Cem sits near the banks of the river. This survey captures a rural Mississippi landscape where traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System remain the primary framework for contemporary roads and property lines.
