2014 Map of Emelle

About this map

Emelle serves as a central point in this part of Sumter County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Sicolocco Cr and the Little Sanusi Cr. The 2014 survey reveals a rural area with deep genealogical roots, marked by numerous small burial grounds such as Boney Cem, Bell Cem, and Old Side Cem. Settlement patterns follow the corridors of Al-17 and Al-28, connecting smaller locales like Sledge and Hamner to the surrounding timber and farm lands. To the southeast, the terrain reaches toward the C E Boyd Lake and the drainage basin of Miuka Cr. This map is particularly valuable for researchers tracing family landmarks along historic routes like Old Sides Cemetery Rd and Buck Boyd Rd, offering a precise record of the contemporary Alabama-Mississippi borderlands.
