2018 Map of Clinton

About this map

Clinton and the western edge of Jackson dominate this 2018 topographic survey, capturing a landscape defined by collegiate history and transportation corridors. The historic Mississippi College campus sits at the heart of the community, surrounded by several important local burial grounds including the Cowles Meade Cem, Clinton Cem, and Odd Fellows Cem. The presence of the Kansas City Southern railroad and the Natchez Trace Pkwy illustrates the town's enduring role as a transit hub between the state capital and the rural interior. In the outlying areas, smaller settlements such as McRaven, Van Winkle, and Forest Hill indicate the suburban development pattern typical of the Hinds County region. Water features like Mississippi College Lake, Bakers Cr, and Lynch Cr drain the varied terrain, while Lakewood Memorial Park provides significant open space near the Jackson city line.
