2020 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Jefferson and Nason anchor this interior Mississippi landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to the border of Grenada Co and Carroll Co, where the land is carved by the winding paths of Potacocowa Creek, Grays Creek, and Greasy Creek. This area is particularly rich in family and community burial sites, with over a dozen distinct locations documented, including the Jefferson Cem, Sweet Home Cem, and Mount Carmel Cem. The drainage patterns of small tributaries like Cane Cr, Dubard Br, and Mormon Br dictate the local road network, which transitions from named local streets such as Williams ST to county-maintained routes like Co RD 69 and Co RD 115. The layout of these crossings and the concentration of sites like Ebenezer Cem and Bledsoe Cem provide a clear view of the rural settlement patterns along the county line.
