2024 Map of Jayess

About this map

Jayess sits at a crossroads in the hills of southern Mississippi, where the boundaries of Lincoln, Lawrence, and Walthall Counties converge. This 2024 landscape is defined by the winding paths of Carters Creek and Magers Creek, which cut through a network of rural roads bearing the names of long-established local families. The settlement of Enon serves as a local anchor in the southwest, while scattered community centers like Verna and Hope Hill mark the northern reaches. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a vital record of legacy, pinpointing established sites such as Enon Cem, Greer Cem, and New Bethel Cem. The road names themselves—including Jessie Wallace Rd, Phillips McCain Rd, and Dewitt Alexander Rd—suggest the deep ancestral roots tied to specific parcels of land across these rolling timberlands and pastures.
