2015 Map of Porterville

About this map

Sucarnochee River and its numerous tributaries, including Quilby Cr and Pawticfaw Cr, dominate the landscape of the Mississippi-Alabama borderlands. This rural region, centered around Porterville and Sucarnochee, maintains a character defined by its winding waterways and scattered community landmarks. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites such as Robbins Cem, Enondale Cem, and Briggs Chapel Cem, which anchor the small settlements of the area. The road network, featuring names like Weyerhaeuser RD and Old Highway 45 RD, traces the movement of forestry and commerce through Enondale and across the state line into Sumter County, Alabama. The proximity of these communities to the state boundary is clearly delineated, showing how geography and political borders intersect in this quiet corner of Kemper County.
