2015 Map of Gin Branch

About this map

Jefferson sits at the western edge of this 2015 landscape, where a dense network of watercourses defines the terrain of Jefferson County. The divide between the N Fork Coles Cr drainage to the north and the Middle Fork Homochitto River to the south shapes the local geography. Numerous small branches like Neigh Br, Puffer Br, and McDonald Br feed into larger creeks, reflecting a deeply dissected territory. Local history is anchored by sites like Dillon Cem and a web of rural routes including Harriston Rd, Ephesus Church Rd, and Perth Rd. The map documents a classic Mississippi pattern of upland drainage where name-bearing streams like Gin Branch and Blue Goose Cr served as the primary landmarks for generations of rural residents.
