2015 Map of Lanham

About this map

Bogue Homo dominates the central drainage of this Jones County landscape, winding south toward the DeSoto National Forest. The settlement pattern reflects a series of small, rural hubs including Lanham, Tallahomo, Monarch, and Crotts. These locations are connected by a network of local roads such as Ellisville Junction Rd and Tuckers Crossing Rd, illustrating the transition from early timber-reliant communities to a modern residential and recreational layout. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of the Mount Moriah Cem and Tucker Cem provides specific points for family research. Significant water features like Jones County Lake and numerous creeks such as Chinquapin Cr and Savannah Br define the local topography, marking the persistent wet-branch geography characteristic of this part of southern Mississippi.
