2012 Map of Laurel East

About this map

Tallahala Creek and the meandering course of Bogue Homo dominate this landscape east of Laurel, where several small communities and timber-related features define the geography. The map reveals a distribution of rural settlements such as Glade, Antioch, and Tuckers Crossing, each anchored by local landmarks like the Old Meeting House and the Glade Baptist Church. To the east, industrial and recreational water bodies including Masonite Lake and Lake Bogue Homo provide evidence of the region's managed natural resources. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds, from the Nora Davis Memorial Cemetery in the north to the Providence Cemetery in the southeast. The intricate network of drainage, including Bogue Cheely and Blacksnake Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of Jones County before these streams reach the larger river basins.
