2020 Map of De Kalb

About this map

De Kalb serves as the focal point of this Kemper County landscape, where the Kemper County Courthouse stands at the junction of local routes like Philadelphia Rd and Main Ave. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding path of the Sucarnoochee River and its numerous tributaries, including Running Tiger Cr and Hull Br. Small settlements and historic landmarks such as Sciples Mill to the north and Bloomfield to the west indicate a rural development pattern heavily influenced by local waterways and an extensive network of family-named roads. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved here, from the De Kalb Depot Hill Cem near the town center to the Jerusalem Cem and McRae Cem situated along the ridges overlooking Bateman Lake and the river bottoms.
