About this map

Gordonsville and the town of Mosses anchor this rural landscape in central Lowndes County, characterized by a dispersed network of family and community burial grounds. These sites, including Bogahoma Cem, Rudolph Hill Cem, and Hope Well Cem, are scattered across a terrain of subtle elevation changes and agricultural drainage features. Water management is evident through landmarks like Kellys Ditch, which cuts through the central sections, and several localized ponds such as Hollidays Pond and Martins Lake.

The infrastructure is defined by a grid of county roads and named ways such as Mary J Jackson Rd and Silver Creek Rd, which connect the small settlements to the surrounding timber and farmlands. To the south, the settlement of Beechwood sits near the township boundary, while Hicks Hill rises in the northwest corner. This map provides a detailed view of the social geography of the area, where historical family names are preserved on the land through landmarks like Garr Cem and Morass Cem.
