2015 Map of Rhodes

About this map

DeSoto National Forest dominates the terrain of this Mississippi landscape, where the borders of Jones, Wayne, and Perry counties converge. The small settlements of Blodgett, Rhodes, and Good Hope are linked by a network of timber and forest service roads, such as RD 205 Forrestry Service and RD 205A Forrestry Service. The area is defined by its complex drainage systems, with numerous creeks and branches like Tiger Creek and Thompson Creek carving through the wooded hills. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Brown Cem and Edwards Cem. The map reveals the modern intersection of private land and protected federal forest, showing how roads like Good Hope Church Rd and Rayburn Pierce Rd connect rural homesteads to the wider region.
