About this map

Ellisville serves as the focal point of this Jones County landscape, where the dense grid of the town center transitions into a network of outlying rural communities. The map documents numerous smaller settlements such as Oak Grove, Pecan Grove, and Tawanta, which are interconnected by historic routes like Hal Crocker Rd and Tuckers Crossing Rd. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, including the Anderson-Minter Cem, Bynum Cem, and the Pilgrim Cem, providing significant geographic markers for local family histories.

The hydrological character of the region is defined by the winding paths of Tallahoma Cr and Rocky Cr, which feed into various tributaries and distinctive local features like Buzzard Bay and Jordan Lake. In the southeast, the flow of Woodards Mill Cr suggests the site of early water-powered industry. This survey illustrates the established road network that links these natural watercourses with the residential and agricultural development around Jenkins and Johnson.
