2020 Map of Laurel East

About this map

Laurel and its eastern surroundings in Jones County are defined by a complex network of waterways feeding into the Bogue Homo, including Dry Swamp Cr and Blacksnake Cr. This modern survey reveals the persistent rural footprint of communities like Eastview, Powers, and Antioch, where landscape features such as Old Meeting House Hill anchor the local geography. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the urban edge of Laurel and the outlying country settlements connected by Old Hwy 84. Numerous burial grounds, including the Nora Davis Memorial Cem, Antioch Cem, and Providence Cem, offer valuable reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Mississippi. The presence of Lake Bogue Homo in the northeast corner highlights the area's significant hydrography, which has historically shaped the road and settlement patterns of the region.
