2015 Map of Prentiss East

About this map

Prentiss serves as the focal point of this Jefferson Davis County landscape, where urban streets like Pearl Ave and St Stephens Rd give way to a dense network of rural cemeteries and creek drainages. The area is characterized by a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including Dublin Cem, Holloway Cem, and Saint Elizabeth Cem, which suggest long-standing settlement patterns in the Mississippi Pine Belt. The central portion of the map is dominated by Jefferson Davis Lake, while the hydrology is further defined by the upper reaches of White Sand Cr, Jaybird Creek, and the various forks of Holiday Cr. These watercourses flow through a terrain marked by numerous local routes such as Granby Rd and Polk Oatis Rd. Toward the south, the map captures the transition to the smaller communities of Carson and the northern outskirts of Bassfield, linked by historic corridors that parallel the local creek systems.
