2012 Map of Mount Carmel

About this map

Mount Carmel and Clem anchor this portion of Jefferson Davis County, characterized by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural industry. The Gwinville Oil and Gas Field dominates the northwest, signaling the importance of energy extraction in this landscape. High ground near the center is marked by the Clem Lookout Tower, while the eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Bouie River. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by nearly two dozen burial sites including Mount Carmel Cem, White Sand Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. Local history and genealogy are etched into the terrain through named watercourses like White Sand Cr and Walker Br, alongside roads that preserve family surnames such as Williamson Mill Rd and Laird Brinson Rd.
