2012 Map of Gin Branch

About this map

Jefferson sits at a crossroads in the western portion of this landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, most notably the Middle Fork Homochitto River and N Fork Coles Cr, which carve through the countryside alongside smaller tributaries like Gin Br and Blue Goose Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates a predominantly rural environment where life is organized around a series of winding country roads such as Ephesus Church Rd and Chigger Ridge Rd. A solitary point of genealogical interest, the Dillon Cem, is found along Dennis Cross Rd, serving as a quiet anchor for local family history amidst the timber and farmland that characterize this part of Jefferson County.
