2018 Map of Ebenezer

About this map

Ebenezer serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Holmes County, where a network of rural roads such as Ebenezer Coxburg Rd and Ebenezer Pickens Rd connect disparate homesteads. The terrain is deeply defined by its drainage patterns, with Big Cypress Cr and its tributaries carving through the hills. This 2018 survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Rule Cem, Truly Cem, and Hopewell Cem, which suggest the deep genealogical roots of the local population. Along the southern boundary, the transition into Yazoo County is marked near Anderson Cem, while the eastern portion of the map is characterized by the winding path of Bisland Bayou. The placement of these cemeteries and the winding nature of routes like Swayze Home Place Rd reflect a settlement pattern dictated by the undulating topography and the historical location of local estates.
