2018 Map of Daleville

About this map

Daleville and the surrounding rural communities of Lizelia and Obadiah occupy this section of the Mississippi borderlands, where the drainage of Blackwater Cr and Ponta Cr carves a complex network of ridges and hollows. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical roots, anchored by numerous burial grounds such as Arkadelphia Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and the final resting place of a notable early figure at Samuel Dale Cem. These sites, along with others like Hickory Grove Cem and Andrews Chapel Cem, indicate long-standing family settlements that have persisted along historic transit routes.
