About this map

Ebenezer serves as a central hub in this rural Mississippi landscape, defined by a network of family-named roads and scattered burial grounds. The community is anchored by the Ebenezer Baptist Church Cem and Ebenezer Methodist Church Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted social and religious history of Holmes County. The terrain is marked by seasonal waterways and wetlands, including Bisland Bayou and the winding Cypress Creek, which influence the local drainage and land use patterns.

Genealogists will find a wealth of information in the numerous small family and community cemeteries such as Rogers Cem, Rule Cem, and Hart Town Cem, which are tucked away along routes like Ebenezer Pickens Road and Lemon Road. The boundary between Holmes Co and Yazoo County cuts diagonally through the southern half of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions that govern these agricultural lands and timber tracts.
