About this map

The Lauderdale Springs Confederate-Union Cem stands as a significant historical marker in this borderland between Mississippi and Alabama, reflecting the deep regional history of the mid-19th century. Located south of the community of Tamola, this site is surrounded by a landscape defined by its complex drainage network, including the Sucarnoochee River and Ponta Cr. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Hebron Cem, Anna York Cem, and Center Ridge Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogical research.

Local landmarks like Grigsbys Springs and named watercourses such as Roasted Hog Cr and Sweetwater Cr illustrate the rural character of the area. The surveyor’s documentation of numerous local roads—including Henry Wedgeworth Rd, York Rd, and Billy Bell Rd—indicates how these established routes have long connected the scattered homesteads and small settlements across Kemper and Lauderdale counties.
