About this map

Ellisville serves as the focal point of this Jones County landscape, characterized by a dense network of residential streets and the campus of Jones County Jr Coll. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Tallahala Creek and Tallahoma Creek, which carve through the countryside alongside numerous smaller tributaries like Turkey Springs and Dry Br. This survey illustrates the transition from the concentrated urban grid of the town center to the outlying rural settlements and family-named homesteads that define the region's character.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Ellisville Cem, Anderson-Minter Cem, and the more remote Johnson Cem. These sites, along with smaller crossroads like Pecan Grove and Tawanta, reveal the long-standing community structure of the area. The landscape is also marked by distinctive water features such as Buzzard Bay and Jordan Lake, reflecting the well-watered topography of southern Mississippi.
