2018 Map of Cayuga

About this map

Cayuga and Reganton anchor this rural landscape where the Big Black River forms the winding western boundary between Warren, Hinds, and Claiborne counties. This 2018 survey captures the modern alignment of the Natchez Trace Pkwy as it traverses the terrain formerly connected by the Old Port Gibson Road. The interior is defined by a series of small watercourses including Fivemile Creek and Commissioners Creek, which drain the heavily wooded hills of the Big Black basin. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous family and community burial sites, including Belmont Cemetery, McElwee Cemetery, and Turner Cemetery, many of which are tucked away on small rural routes like Charlie Brown Road. The presence of Regan Island in the river and the quiet settlements of Newman and Hubbard reflect the enduring agricultural and residential character of this Mississippi backcountry.
