About this map

Cayuga sits at the intersection of local history and modern preservation, where the winding path of Natchez Trace Pkwy and National Scenic Trail cuts through the rural landscape of Hinds and Claiborne Counties. The area is defined by the drainage of the Big Black River and its numerous tributaries, including Fivemile Cr and Jones Cr, creating a deeply dissected terrain that influenced early settlement patterns.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and burial sites across these townships. Small rural centers like Newman and Hubbard are documented alongside numerous historic resting places such as Belmont Cem, McElwee Cem, and Chatham Cem. The road network preserved here, from Old Port Gibson Rd to Fisher Ferry Rd, provides a clear view of the traditional corridors that once connected these agricultural communities before modern bypasses.
