2015 Map of Jefferson

About this map

The boundary between Grenada and Carroll Counties bisects this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries. At the southern edge, the small settlement of Jefferson sits near Potacocowa Creek, while Nason occupies the higher ground to the north. The area is heavily intersected by small waterways, including Cane Cr and Loden Cr, which have shaped the local topography. This region is notably rich in historical burial sites, with over a dozen distinct grounds such as Franklin Cem, Jefferson Cem, and Mount Carmel Cem scattered across the township sections. These locations, combined with roads named for local families like Beard Rd and Denton Rd, provide a detailed framework for understanding the heritage and genealogical roots of these Mississippi hill country communities.
