2015 Map of Hero

About this map

Mount Vernon and Garlandville anchor the northern reaches of this landscape along the border of Newton and Jasper counties. The area is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including Scotchenflipper Cr, Souenlovie Cr, and Penantly Cr, which carve through the terrain. Small settlements and points of interest like Hero and Penantly are connected by a web of rural routes such as Stamper Rd and Walker Rd. Local history is preserved in sites like the Garlandville Cem and Hopewell Cem, while the landscape is punctuated by water features like Horne Mill Pond and Kennedy Pond. The map reveals a rural Mississippi environment where community centers are deeply tied to the natural drainage patterns of the N Twistwood Cr watershed.
