2015 Map of De Kalb

About this map

De Kalb serves as the focal point of this Kemper County landscape, where the town street grid includes historical thoroughfares like Philadelphia Rd and Old Scooba St. The area's development is closely tied to its waterways, with the Sucarnoochee River and Hull Br winding through the southern half of the quadrangle. To the north, the settlement of Sciples Mill sits near the headwaters of Indian Br, while Bloomfield occupies the western edge. A network of rural routes, such as Kellis Store Rd and Fannie Jack Rd, connects these communities and several family-named landmarks. The map documents numerous burial sites vital for genealogical research, including Spring Hill Cem and Jerusalem Cem, as well as the secluded McRae Cem near the riverbanks.
