2012 Map of Prentiss West

About this map

Whitesand and the surrounding rural communities of Lucas and Progress define this Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects family homesteads and local landmarks. The area is notable for its high concentration of family-named burial grounds, such as Patterson-Garner-Loftin Cem, Armstrong Cem, and Oatis Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of White Sand Cr and Silver Cr, creating several low-lying areas like Hooker Hollow and Watts Hollow. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Prentiss-Jefferson Davis County Airport, while the village of Silver Creek marks the northwestern corner. This era shows a settled agricultural region where historical land divisions and naming conventions remain deeply tied to the local families who established these communities.
