About this map

The community of Turnerville sits near the intersection of several rural routes in Jasper County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates a region defined by its dispersed settlements and numerous small burial grounds, including Antioch Cem and the Community Center Cem. The drainage pattern is led by the southward flow of Tallahoma Cr and Nuakfuppa Cr, which wind through the timberlands and fields that dominate the area.

Transportation is anchored by State Highway 18, which connects the hamlets of McNeal and Mulberry in the eastern portion of the map. Smaller settlements like Montrose are marked by established landmarks such as Montrose Cem and Saint Paul Cem. The abundance of named family and community cemeteries, including McCarty Cem, Read Cem, and Mulberry Cem, makes this a vital document for genealogists tracing lineage through the rural backcountry of eastern Mississippi.
