About this map

Taylorsville serves as the central hub of this Mississippi landscape, situated at the junction of local routes like Front St and Eaton St. The town's grid is surrounded by a network of smaller communities such as Wisner to the west and Gilmore to the south. This area is defined by the convergence of several county lines, including the borders between Smith, Covington, and Jones Counties, which fragment the rural acreage into distinct survey townships.

Waterways like the Leaf River and Oakahay Creek drain the terrain, which includes the notable Sullivans Hollow. For genealogists, the map is a dense resource of family history markers, featuring numerous burial grounds like Clear Creek Baptist Church Cem, Fellowship Cem, and Barnes Cem. These sites, alongside local landmarks like the Smith County Airport and Maranatha Mennonite Church, reflect a deeply rooted rural society structured around its churches and creek-side settlements.
