2012 Map of Myrick

About this map

Myrick and the surrounding rural landscapes of Jones County are defined by a mix of forestry and active energy production. Significant petroleum extraction sites like the Pool Creek Oil Field, Wausau Oil Field, and Thompson Creek Oil Field dot the landscape, indicating the importance of the local oil industry. The area is intersected by watercourses such as Thompson Cr and Brushy Cr, which feed into various water bodies including Masonite Lake and Lake Bogue Homo. Small communities like Pleasant Grove, Pineview, and Lightsey are linked by a network of local roads including Old Highway 84 E. Local genealogy is well-supported by several established burial grounds, including Myrick Cem, Mill Creek Cem, and the Dennis Blackledge Cem, which serve as markers for family histories in this part of Mississippi.
