2024 Map of Sandersville

About this map

Sandersville and the surrounding pine-belt landscape of Jones County and Jasper County are defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Tallahala Creek and the bifurcated Reedy Creek, which shape the local geography and road placement. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for its documentation of numerous small burial grounds, ranging from church-affiliated sites like Corinth Baptist Church Cem to smaller family plots such as the May Cem and McGill Cem. The settlement at Sharon is noted with multiple distinct sites including the Old Sharon Cem and Sharon Cem, suggesting a long-standing community center. Smaller crossroads and rail-adjacent points like Bonner, Haney, and Errata provide a detailed look at the scattered residential nodes that persist in this part of Mississippi.
