About this map

The Big Black River serves as the dominant geographic feature of this landscape, winding through the fertile bottomlands that separate Warren and Hinds counties. This river corridor is marked by numerous oxbow formations and remnants of former channels, including Old River Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Tomcat Island. The settlement patterns reflect a long history of river-dependent navigation and crossing points, anchored by Bovina and the site of Smiths Ferry.

Away from the river’s edge, the map reveals a network of rural roads such as Tiffintown Rd and Brabston Rd that connect family landmarks and local burial grounds like Henry Cem and Montgomery Cem. Smaller tributaries like Clear Creek and Fourteenmile Creek drain the surrounding wooded hills, while the interstate corridor provides a modern contrast to the older routes like Old Hwy 80 that once defined travel through this part of Mississippi.
