About this map

Bogue Homo flows through this central portion of Jones County, carving a drainage basin that includes numerous small tributaries like Little Camp Cr and Savannah Br. The landscape is characterized by a network of timberlands and rural homesteads, connected by a dense web of local routes including Old Highway 15 S and Township Rd. Small community centers such as Lanham and Ellisville Junction mark the northern reaches, while Monarch and Tallahomo sit further south along the creek valleys.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several key community landmarks that anchor the area's history. The Mount Moriah Cem and Tucker Cem provide vital links to early families, while the Point Laurel Lookout Tower stands as a notable geographical marker near Jones County Lake. The presence of labels like Spur Line Rd hints at the historical role of the timber industry in shaping the transport corridors that define this Mississippi landscape.
