2015 Map of Star

About this map

The settlement of Star and its surrounding rural communities lie along the border of Rankin and Simpson Counties in this mid-2010s topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Mountain Creek and Hominy Creek in the north, while Big Creek and Limestone Creek drain the southern sections toward Gama. This geography reveals a pattern of ridge-top road development, with family and community identity centered on local landmarks such as Falcon Field and several smaller hubs like Anse and Rexford. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Wesleyanna Cemetery, Star Cemetery, and New Zion Cemetery, reflecting the enduring settlement of this central Mississippi region.
