2015 Map of Prentiss West

About this map

The town of Prentiss serves as a focal point in this Jefferson Davis County landscape, where the Prentiss-Jefferson Davis County Airport marks the transition from the town's grid to the surrounding rural reaches. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, visible in the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Patterson-Garner-Loftin Cem, South Pleasant Hill Cem, and Stamps Cem. Small settlements like Whitesand, Lucas, and Progress are connected by a network of local roads including Daughdrill Rd and Spring Hill Rd. The terrain is characterized by distinct drainage patterns like White Sand Cr and Silver Cr, alongside named depressions such as Hooker Hollow and Watts Hollow, which have historically influenced the placement of farms and homesteads in this part of Mississippi.
