1982 Map of Vestry

About this map

De Soto National Forest and the University of Mississippi Forest dominate the landscape of the Jackson and George County line in this early 1980s provisional survey. The settlement of Vestry is a focal point of activity, situated near the intersection of Vestry Road and several timber-access routes. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Little Red Creek and Bluff Creek, which flow through the protected wildlife areas. Rural life is evidenced by numerous family cemeteries and small congregations, such as Flurry Cem, Ramsey Cem, and Bonnie Chapel. The presence of the Red Creek State Wildlife Management Area highlights the region's dedication to conservation and timber management, while the inclusion of the Railroad and named tracks like Gator Road and Holland Road shows the infrastructure supporting local industry.
