About this map

Clinton and the western edge of Jackson define this landscape during a period of significant suburban expansion in Hinds County. The map documents the intricate transportation corridor where the Natchez Trace Parkway and the Illinois Central Gulf railroad intersect, alongside newer interstate infrastructure. Educational and social institutions are prominent, from the historic Clinton Academy and Sumner Hill Sch to the Reformed Theological Seminary and the Baptist Childrens Village.

Industrial and technical footprints are equally visible, including the sprawling U S Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station and several sandpits and gravel pits that suggest the area's ongoing development. Historic rural markers like the Cowles Meade Cem sit alongside modern entertainment venues such as the Jackson International Speedway and the Drive-in Theater, capturing the changing character of the Mississippi capital's outskirts.
