2012 Map of Lynville

About this map

Joe Williams Naval Outlying Field occupies a prominent portion of this Kemper County landscape, serving as a distinct military landmark amid the rural terrain. The area is characterized by small, scattered settlements like Lynville and Bluff Springs, connected by a network of family-named roads such as Lewis Cook Rd and Nell Burnett Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring nature of local heritage through its numerous cemeteries, including Pleasant Springs Cem and Smyrna Cem, which are often the primary remaining indicators of early community centers. The geography is defined by the winding Sucarnoochee River and various watercourses like Bendix Cr and Land Cr, showing how the natural drainage patterns have historically influenced the placement of farms and homesteads in this part of Mississippi.
