2020 Map of Jonestown

About this map

Jonestown serves as the central hub for this Delta landscape, situated along the Coldwater River where local agriculture and traditional watercourses intersect. The map illustrates a network of rural settlements like Matagorda and Eagles Nest, providing clear evidence of the region's historic property divisions and family burial grounds such as Alcorn Cem and Chrestman Cem. The geography is heavily influenced by relic oxbows and swampy depressions, including Swan Lake and Tula Lake, which dominate the low-lying terrain. Transport and community infrastructure are well-documented, from the Universith of Jonestown to the countless secondary roads like Pear Orchard Rd and Sunrise Rd that link these small communities. The boundary between Coahoma and Quitman counties cuts through the eastern portion of the sheet, dividing the fertile bottomlands between the Broad Bayou and the main river channel.
