2020 Map of Prentiss East

About this map

The town of Prentiss serves as the seat of Jefferson Davis County, anchored by the Jefferson Davis County Building Circuit Court and the Chancery Court. The surrounding countryside is defined by an exceptionally high density of small family and community burial grounds, illustrating a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern. From the Saint Elizabeth Cem near Carson to the Clear Springs Cem in the south, these sites provide a granular record of local genealogy. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including White Sand Creek, Jaybird Creek, and Holliday Cr, which feed into the broader regional drainage system. Jefferson Davis Lake provides a central water feature amidst the complex network of local roads like Bass Hathorn Rd and Fate Ward Rd that connect the scattered homesites and agricultural lands.
