About this map

Lake Como and the surrounding piney woods of Jasper County are defined by a network of creeks and small farming settlements. The landscape is drained by Tallahoma Cr and Nuakfuppa Cr, where local roads like CR-5288 and CR-5286 connect long-standing community centers. These rural hubs are often anchored by local burying grounds, such as Lake Como Cem and the Mount Pleasant Cem further south.

Inland from the busier corridors near Bay Springs, the map reveals quieter locales like Acme, Vernon, and Blue Ridge. The inclusion of Thigpen Field north of Tallahoma Cr indicates the presence of aviation infrastructure amidst the timber and agricultural lands. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t2n r10e and t2n r11e, provide the underlying grid for these Mississippi land tracts, tracing the historic distribution of homesteads and family acreage.
