2020 Map of Lorman

About this map

Lorman stands as the primary settlement in this part of Jefferson County, situated along the corridor of Old Hwy 61. The landscape is defined by the winding route of the Natchez Trace Parkway and a dense network of watercourses, including North Fork Coles Creek and Shankstown Cr. For those researching local history, several small burial grounds are marked across the terrain, such as McCaa Cem, Waterloo Cem, and China Grove Cem, which often represent early family holdings or church sites. The map reveals a transition from the structured township lines to the irregular boundaries of older land grants. Small communities like Melton and Stonington punctuate the southern reaches, connected by named tracks like Poplar Hill Rd and Jessamine Ridge Rd, illustrating the persistent rural settlement pattern of southwest Mississippi.
