2018 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Nason and Jefferson anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, situated along the county line where Grenada Co meets Carroll Co. The area is defined by a dense network of small drainage systems, most notably Potacocowa Creek and its many tributaries like Dubard Br and O'Neal Br. This topography has historically shaped the placement of local roads and family-named cemeteries that dot the hills. Numerous burial sites including Swange Chapel Cem, Prospect Cem, and Sweet Home Cem suggest a long-established pattern of rural community life and family landholdings. Movement through the territory relies on a grid of county roads and named routes such as Holcomb Sweethome Rd and Dubard Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and small settlements across the township and range divisions.
