2015 Map of Fayette

About this map

The street grid of Fayette and the nearby junction at Harriston anchor this 2015 study of Jefferson County, Mississippi. This area of the Magnolia State is defined by a complex network of waterways, where Gibson Bayou and Mud Island Cr drain the northern reaches, while Stampley Cr and Morgan Fork shape the southern landscape. The map reveals a high density of rural cemeteries, such as Hicks Cem and Folkes Cem, which often mark the sites of early family homesteads and community centers in this region. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between creek bottoms, visible in the clusters at McNair and Cadillac. Recreational and natural water bodies like Mossy Lake and American Legion Lake offer clear points of reference for those familiar with the local terrain, while the transition between t9n r1e and t8n r2e illustrates the underlying township and range survey system.
