2020 Map of Moss

About this map

Tallahala Creek and its tributary Cypress Cr dominate the drainage of this East Mississippi landscape, where the rural settlements of Moss, Hoy, and Shady Grove are positioned amidst a network of country roads. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Graham Cem, Welborn Cem, and County Line Cem, which sits directly on the boundary between Jasper Co and Jones Co. The presence of the Union Seminary Baptist Cem in the northeastern corner suggests long-standing religious centers that anchored these communities. For researchers, the detailed naming of local routes like Azzie Pitts Rd and Harlon Matthews Rd provides a specific look at the late 20th-century road names and property associations in this part of the Piney Woods region.
