2015 Map of Laurel East

About this map

Laurel and its eastern surroundings are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements in this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of Jones County. The landscape is oriented around Tallahala Creek and the extensive Bogue Homo drainage system, which includes Lake Bogue Homo and numerous smaller tributaries like Bogue Cheely and Blacksnake Cr. This area maintains a mix of established neighborhoods and rural outposts, with community life anchored by sites such as Old Meeting House Hill and Smith Chapel. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of many local burial grounds, ranging from the Nora Davis Memorial Cem near the northern survey line to the Providence Cem in the southeast. Smaller hamlets like Glaston, Powers, and Tuckers Crossing punctuate the landscape, connected by a dense grid of local roads and the path of the interstate.
