2012 Map of Cayuga

About this map

The Big Black River snakes along the western edge of this Hinds and Claiborne County landscape, defining the rugged hydrology of the region. This 2012 survey highlights the rural community of Cayuga, situated at a traditional crossroads where Cayuga Rd meets Charlie Brown Rd. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying numerous family and community burial grounds such as Belmont Cem, McElwee Cem, and Cook Cem. Transport through the area is anchored by the historic corridor of the Natchez Trace Pkwy, which bypasses the older settlements of Reganton and Hubbard. The terrain is deeply incised by numerous waterways like Fivemile Cr and Commissioners Cr, which shaped the early agricultural development and settlement patterns seen here.
