1983 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Jefferson and Nason anchor this rural landscape in the early 1980s, situated along the border of Grenada Co and Carroll Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, with Potacocowa Creek and its many tributaries, including Greasy Creek and Dubard Branch, winding through the countryside. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous small family and community burial grounds such as Franklin Cem, Emmons Cem, and Bledsoe Cem. The social fabric of the era is evidenced by scattered country churches including Hillside Ch, Liberty Ch, and Ebenezer Ch. The map illustrates a transitional period where established rural communities remained centered around these spiritual and communal landmarks even as agricultural patterns and land use shifted across the Mississippi hills.
