2012 Map of Hero

About this map

Mount Vernon and Garlandville anchor this 2012 survey of the rural Mississippi landscape, where a network of county roads connects small settlements and family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Souenlovie Cr and Penantly Cr, which drain the timbered and agricultural land in this part of Newton County. For genealogists and local researchers, the map provides precise locations for the Garlandville Cem and Hopewell Cem, alongside the communities of Hero, Penantly, and Moss Hill. The presence of Horne Mill Pond and Kennedy Pond indicates the long-standing importance of water management in this rural setting, while the Hidden Valley Camp suggests more modern recreational uses of the land. The dense web of routes like Gip Wall Rd and Liberty Church Rd reflects the established residency patterns of the area.
