2024 Map of Tamola

About this map

Ponta Creek and its many tributaries, including Simmons Creek and Roasted Ear Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this borderland between Mississippi and Alabama. The small settlement of Tamola sits in the northwest, served by a network of rural routes like Old Hwy 45 Rd and Tamola Rd. This landscape is particularly notable for its significant funerary sites, reflecting generations of local settlement. In the southwest, the Lauderdale Springs Confederate - Union Cem stands as a poignant reminder of Civil War history, situated near the Lauderdale Cem. Other family and community sites, such as Mount Hebron Cem and Anna York Cem, are scattered throughout the hills. In the northeast, the Sucarnoochee River flows toward the state line, while the southern reaches are defined by Sweetwater Creek and Running Creek.
