About this map

Jayess and Enon anchor this rural landscape in south-central Mississippi, situated at the meeting point of Lawrence, Lincoln, and Walthall counties. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of creek valleys, including Carters Cr and Leatherwood Cr, which have historically shaped the placement of local roads and farmsteads. A notable concentration of community landmarks appears in the southwest, particularly around the settlement of Enon, where the Enon Cem and New Bethel Cem are located.

The map reveals a deep-rooted pattern of family names preserved through its infrastructure, with roads like Dewitt Alexander Rd and Jessie Wallace Rd indicating long-standing local ties. To the north, the small community of Verna is marked by the Hope Hill church, while numerous other small family plots like Garner Cem and Greer Cem are scattered across the uplands. This 2015 survey provides a modern layout of these traditional communities before significant changes in the rural road network.
