TEMPLE Lauderdale Co. TEMPLE, a former post office site, appears in Lauderdale County, Mississippi in the 1895 U.S. Atlas. This would appear to be in the County Commission District known as Beat 3, in the 2003 Mississippi General Highway Map series for Lauderdale Co. In 1900, two families with the surname TEMPLE, were living in the vicinity, which is approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the present day community of Obadiah, which in turn is north of Bailey. A USGS Topographic feature on the Daleville Quadrangle is listed as Temple Pond Dam with coordinates placing it on the Rogers Creek tributary on the north side of Haugewood Road. This road may have been named for the Haugewood Lumber Company and Sawmill, an early business which harvested forest product in the region.
