About this map

Mississippi College serves as a central anchor for the city of Clinton, a community defined by its educational history and its position along the Natchez Trace Parkway. The landscape is a network of suburban expansion and historical preservation, where older burial grounds like the Cowles Meade Cem and Odd Fellows Cem sit amidst contemporary developments. The geography is carved by several watercourses including Lindsey Cr and Bakers Creek, which flow through the undulating terrain of the t6n r1w and t5n r1w townships.

To the east, the map captures the western margins of Jackson, transitioning through neighborhoods like Van Winkle and Forest Hill. This transition illustrates the 2020 urban footprint, showing how the city connects to outlying areas such as McRaven and Thompson. Significant green spaces, such as Lakewood Memorial Park, and natural features like Swaffords Spring provide a sense of the area's original hydrology before modern infrastructure predominated.
