2020 Map of Daleville

About this map

Daleville and Lizelia anchor this portion of East Mississippi, where the headwaters of several drainages carve a intricate network through the landscape. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries, including Samuel Dale Cem and Arkadelphia Cem, which serve as critical markers for genealogists tracing family roots in Lauderdale and Kemper counties. The terrain is defined by watercourses like Ponta Cr and Mosley Br, which influenced the placement of early routes such as the Jackson Military Rd. Small settlements like Obadiah and Blackwater are connected by a web of local roads, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural and timber-related land use. The presence of Kempdale Lake and numerous named branches suggests the importance of water management in this rural setting.
