About this map

The Big Black River carves a winding path across this landscape at the intersection of Yazoo, Hinds, and Madison Counties. Near the small community of Nevada, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and rural corridors, including the namesake Cox Ferry Rd. Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the Smith Family Cem, Dawson Cem, and Granbury Cem.

The hydrography of the region is particularly intricate, with tributaries like Boque Falia Cr and Boque Chitto Cr feeding the primary river system. Established sites of worship and community gathering, such as the Good Hope Baptist Church Cem, anchor the settlement patterns. The map detail reflects a quiet, rural interior of Mississippi, where long-standing property lines and creek-fed bottomlands dictate the placement of roads like Big Mound Rd and Whiskey Ridge Rd.
