About this map

Ellisville serves as the focal point of this Jones County landscape, characterized by a concentration of educational and social institutions. The grounds of Jones County Junior College and the Ellisville State Sch dominate the western portion of the city, while Roosevelt Sch sits near the heart of the community. The Southern railroad line cuts diagonally through the terrain, paralleling the primary road network and facilitating local movement near the Tallahala Creek basin.

Beyond the city limits, the rural landscape is defined by family-named landmarks and small-scale industry. Numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Tula Rosa Ch and Bynum Cem, are scattered along the ridgelines. Waterways like Rocky Creek and Buzzard Bay Creek drain into the larger Tallahala system, which is punctuated by local features like Jordan Lake and the Anderson Minter Dam. Industrial footprints appear as various excavations, including a Sandpit and Gravel Pit, reflecting the area's geological utility during the mid-20th century.
