2022 Map of Dalby Springs

About this map

Dalby Springs serves as the focal point of this region in the 2020s, situated near the confluence of several prominent watercourses and family-named landmarks. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sulphur River and White Oak Creek, which create a complex network of wetlands and sloughs including Molly Clark Slough. These waterways are flanked by numerous named lakes such as Greenhaw Lake, Shaw Lake, and the evocatively named Black Cat Lake, suggesting a terrain historically shaped by seasonal flooding and shifting river channels. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Dalby Springs Cem, Roberts Cem, and Lumpkin Cem, which provide anchors for family history research in this corner of Bowie County near the Morris and Cass county lines.
