About this map

The town of Arlington anchors a landscape defined by significant water management and a dense network of family-named landmarks. The Loosahatchie River Canal and the Loosahatchie River Drainage Canal dominate the central topography, reflecting the historical engineering efforts to manage the wetlands of northeast Shelby County. These man-made channels are supplemented by the Beaver Cr Canal and Cypress Creek Canal, illustrating how the natural hydrology has been altered for agriculture and development over decades.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific memorial sites, including the Reverend W H Hammond Memorial Cem and the Mount Sinai African Methodist Episcopal Church Cem. The map also traces the CSX rail line as it passes through Gallaway, while aviation history is preserved at Needham's Airport. Scattered across the rural reaches are numerous family burial grounds such as Hayes Cem, Ludicia Cem, and Bethel Cem, which mark the original homesteads and small communities that preceded the modern growth of Lakeland.
