About this map

Sandersville and its surrounding rural communities in Jones and Jasper Counties are documented here during the mid-2010s, revealing a landscape where small settlements and family cemeteries are distributed among the tributaries of Tallahala Cr. The map captures the interface between established towns like Sandersville and smaller locales such as Sharon, Bonner, and Errata. This area is defined by its complex drainage network, including the Bogue Homo and numerous branches like Jim Kelly Br and Mayhaw Br, which historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites, ranging from the Sandersville Cem to more secluded locations like Old Sharon Cem and May Cem. The road network, featuring local routes such as Sandersville Heidleberg Rd and Florence Church Rd, connects these community nodes. The presence of Hart Ditch and various named creeks like Prairie Cr and Mill Cr illustrates the managed hydrology of the Mississippi piney woods region.
