2018 Map of Jayess

About this map

Jayess and the nearby settlement of Enon anchor this 2018 survey of southwestern Mississippi, where the boundaries of Lincoln, Lawrence, and Walthall counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Magees Cr and Carters Cr, which shape the rural settlement patterns of the region. Local history is deeply etched into the geography through family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Hope Hill in the north and the New Bethel Ch further south. The map provides a detailed view of several local burial grounds, such as Greer Cem, Garner Cem, and Enon Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists. A dense network of local roads, many bearing family names like Dewitt Alexander Rd and Jesse Wallace Rd, connects these small communities and scattered farmsteads across the undulating terrain.
