2012 Map of Taylorsville

About this map

Taylorsville serves as the central hub of this Smith County landscape, which is defined by a mix of rural settlements and active industrial resource extraction. The area around Wisner and the Summerland Oil and Gas Field indicates the continuing importance of energy production to the local economy. In contrast to the modern infrastructure of the Smith County Airport, markers of earlier history are found at Old Taylorsville and several family or community burial grounds, including Clear Creek Cem and New Hopewell Cem. The terrain is drained by a network of waterways such as the Leaf River and Oakhay Creek, which have influenced the placement of small communities like Gambrell and Gilmore. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the road network and land use patterns that define this section of Mississippi.
