About this map

Lynville and the surrounding timbered creek bottoms of Kemper County are defined by a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries in this modern topographical study. The landscape is dominated by the headwaters of the Sucarnoochee River, alongside several named tributaries including Bendix Cr, Cow Cr, and Land Cr. In the central part of the quadrangle, Bluff Springs sits at a crossroads near the Bluff Springs Cem, while Cleveland occupies the southern edge.

A notable modern military presence is evident at the Joe Williams Naval Outlying Field, which provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding agricultural and forest lands. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township lines, including Salem Cem, Smyrna Cem, Shepherd Cem, and the Pleasant Springs Cem. These sites, connected by a maze of local roads like DeKalb Rd and Kellis Store Rd, reveal the persistent community structure of this Mississippi region.
