About this map

The Big Black River carves a complex, winding boundary between Warren and Hinds counties, defining the character of this Mississippi landscape. The river’s shifting course has left behind numerous oxbows and landforms, most notably Old River Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and the isolated Tomcat Island. These hydrological features, alongside Gibbs Lake and Little Horseshoe Lake, illustrate the naturally dynamic floodplain that has historically influenced regional land use and settlement patterns.

Concentrations of local activity appear at Bovina and Smiths, connected by the historic corridor of Old Hwy 80 and modern thoroughfares like Brabston Rd. Further south, the map documents sites of genealogical interest including Henry Cem and Montgomery Cem, situated near Fourteenmile Creek. Infrastructure landmarks such as Askew Bridge cross the smaller tributaries, while a network of rural routes like Warriors Trl and Bovina Cut-Off Rd provide access through the alluvial terrain.
