2015 Map of Moselle

About this map

The Leaf River carves a winding path through this portion of Jones County, defining the landscape between Sand Hill and the community of Moselle. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous family-named roads and landmarks, reflecting a deep-rooted rural geography. Historic crossings like Cranfords Bridge and Crosby Bridge connect the riverbanks, while the presence of several established burial grounds, including New Bethany Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Jordan Cem, provides significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The road network, including Moselle-Seminary RD and Riverside Church Rd, suggests the importance of community institutions like schools and churches in this timber and river-focused region. Tributaries such as Snows Cr and Four Forks Cr further dissect the terrain, creating a complex drainage system that has influenced local land use for generations.
