About this map

Brandon serves as the focal point in the northwest corner of this Rankin County landscape, where the outer edges of suburban expansion meet the rural woodlots of central Mississippi. Residential developments like Sherwood Forest and Robinhood display the contemporary residential footprint, while the surrounding countryside maintains a deeper historical character marked by numerous family and community burial grounds. Mohr Farm Airport provides a small aviation landmark amidst a topography defined by the drainage of Richland Creek and Tumbaloo Creek. The distribution of sites like Pearly Grove Cem, Old Mount Zion Cem, and Hebron Hill Cem suggests a long-established rural settlement pattern that predates the modern street networks. These small cemeteries, often located near local road junctions or property boundaries, offer significant touchstones for genealogists and local historians tracking the early families of the area.
