2018 Map of Lauderdale NW

About this map

Pawticfaw Creek and its numerous tributaries define the drainage patterns across this rural Mississippi landscape on the Kemper and Lauderdale county line. The terrain is marked by a network of local roads named for established families and community landmarks, such as Shiloh Church Rd and Eddie Payton Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including New Hope Cem, Hampton Cem, and Rush Cem, which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares. The southern portion of the survey is dominated by the headwaters of the Blackwater Cr and its feeder, Mineral Springs Br. These watercourses, along with Bruton Pond, reflect the importance of natural water sources to the local agricultural and timber economy in this region.
