About this map

Sandersville and the surrounding piney woods landscape of Jones County are captured here in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a region where local industry and community history are deeply intertwined, most notably seen at the Sharon Oil Field to the west. Small settlements and crossroads like Bonner, Errata, and Sharon dot the landscape, connected by a network of county roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Old Sharon Cem, Corinth Cem, and McGill Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense web of waterways, from the prominent Tallahala Cr to smaller tributaries like Bogue Homo and Mayhaw Br. Landmarks such as the Errata Lookout Tower provide specific points of reference for those studying the physical history of this Mississippi corridor.
