2012 Map of Jayess

About this map

Jayess and Enon anchor this rural Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of local roads follows the subtle drainage patterns of Magees Cr and Carters Cr. The area is defined by its family-named landmarks and local heritage sites, including several significant burial grounds such as Greer Cem, Garner Cem, and the New Bethel Cem located near the center of the survey. The mapping reveals a settlement pattern of dispersed farmsteads and rural residences connected by a web of thoroughfares like Dummy Line Rd and Enon Sartinville Rd. This topography is largely shaped by the winding paths of Leatherwood Cr and Varnell Cr, which cut through the terrain to create the small valleys where communities like Hope Hill and Verna were established. The presence of numerous named roads, such as Jessie Wallace Rd and O'Quinn Rd, reflects the deep-rooted local ownership and genealogical history of Walthall County during this era.
