About this map

Okatibbee Lake dominates the southern landscape of this 2020 Mississippi survey, where the waters of Okatibbee Creek and Tompeat Cr converge. This area, straddling the border of Kemper and Lauderdale Counties, is characterized by its rural settlements and numerous family and community cemeteries. The small communities of Klondike, Martin, Shucktown, and Center Hill serve as the primary nodes of activity, connected by a network of local roads such as Fort Stephens Rd and Townsend-Byrd Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township, including Chisholm Cem near the northern boundary, Pine Grove Cem, and Fellowship Cem. The topography is defined by numerous drainage branches like Hodge Branch and House Cr, which flow through the forested terrain and swampy areas like that along Kittrell Swamp Rd. This document provides a clear view of the contemporary rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns essential for understanding the local geography.
