About this map

The Big Black River meanders across this landscape, defining the winding boundary between Warren and Hinds counties. This river corridor is characterized by a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Old River Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Little Horseshoe Lake, which reflect the historic shifting of the river channel. The settlement of Bovina sits at the western edge, connected to the wider region by the modern corridor of Interstate 20 and the older Old Hwy 80. To the east, the community of Smiths serves as another focal point for local roads.

Evidence of the area's social history is found in the Henry Cem and Montgomery Cem, located near the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The map details a landscape dominated by water and low-lying features like Tomcat Island and Blue Bayou, alongside numerous family-named roads such as Brabston Rd and Youngton Rd, which provide clues to the local landownership and rural development patterns in this part of Mississippi.
