About this map

Mississippi College and the Clinton Academy anchor the educational landscape of this Hinds County region, where the historical footprint of the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts diagonally across the terrain. The late twentieth-century growth of Clinton and the western edge of Jackson is evident in the dense network of schools like Eastside Sch and Magnolia Academy, alongside specialized facilities such as the U S Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station.

Transport and industry define the area's movement, from the Illinois Central Gulf railroad tracks to the Jackson International Speedway near Bakers Creek. Genealogists may find value in documented burial sites like the Cowles Meade Cem and the expansive Lakewood Memorial Park (Cemetery), while the presence of numerous Sewage Disposal Ponds and Gravel Pits reflects the infrastructure required for the burgeoning suburban corridor between these two Mississippi cities.
