About this map

The Big Black River winds through the heart of this landscape, forming the natural boundary where Yazoo Co, Madison Co, and Hinds Co converge. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its complex hydrology and rural settlement patterns, centered on the community of Nevada. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Bogue Chitto Cr and Bogue Falia Cr, which feed into the primary river system.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the density of small family and community burial grounds. Researchers can find the Smith Family Cem, Dawson Cem, and Cox Cem located near the river's edge, while larger religious sites like Good Hope Baptist Church and its associated Good Hope Baptist Church Cem serve as focal points for the upland areas. The intricate network of local roads, such as Cox Ferry Rd and Johnson Line Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of these Mississippi farmsteads.
