2015 Map of Laurel West

About this map

The city of Laurel and its western outskirts appear as a complex network of residential grids and winding rural routes in this 2015 study of Jones County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Tallahoma Creek and its many tributaries, including Joes Br, Mill Cr, and Boler Br, which carve through the undulating terrain. A distinct cluster of educational and religious institutions anchors the northern areas, notably Southeastern Baptist Coll and Shady Grove. To the south, the industrial and aviation footprint of Hesler-Noble Field sits between the growing residential tracts of Queensburg and Pendorff. Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous burial grounds across the quadrangle, from the Laurel Cem and Windham Cem in the urban center to the Spring Hill Cem and Mount Zion Cem in the outlying woodlots and hills.
