About this map

Kemper Springs and the surrounding borderlands of East Mississippi are defined by a complex network of creeks and small, private lakes. This 2015 survey highlights the rural character of the area where the Kemper Co Lauderdale Co line divides the landscape. Numerous family-named roads like Leroy Moore Rd and Hogeye Rd weave through the timberlands, providing access to isolated homesteads and several small family burial grounds, including Segars Cem and Gordon Cem.

A significant military presence is found at the Meridian Naval Air Station / Mc Cain Field, which occupies a large footprint in the center of the quadrangle. To the southeast, the community of Lauderdale serves as a local hub near the shores of Dalewood Shore Lake. The drainage patterns of Ponta Cr and Big Reed Cr dictate the local topography, creating a patchwork of low-lying wetlands and upland ridges typical of this part of the state.
