About this map

The borderlands of Sumter County, Alabama, and Kemper County, Mississippi, define this landscape of creek drainages and small rural settlements. Centered on Emelle, the survey reveals a network of country roads such as Sumter Co Rd 24 and Brown Chapel Rd that connect family-named landmarks and local burial grounds. Numerous family and community cemeteries are scattered across the terrain, including Boney Cem, Roy Cem, and Old Side Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Sicolocco Cr, Sanusi Cr, and Sambo Cr winding through the countryside. To the east, the small settlement of Hamner is situated near the junction of several county roads, while Sledge marks a distinct point along Co Rd 20. The presence of features like C E Boyd Lake and various tributary branches underscores the agricultural and hydrologic character of this western Alabama region in the early twenty-first century.
