About this map

The town of Edwards serves as the central hub of this Hinds County landscape, situated near the western edge where the drainage of Bakers Cr and Fourteenmile Cr shapes the terrain. Historically significant for its connection to local conflicts, the area near Champion Hill remains a prominent landmark in the east. The map detail highlights a network of rural roads with evocative local names such as Askew Ferry Rd, Potato House Rd, and Mount Moriah Rd, which link scattered residences to the town center.

Genealogists will find value in the identification of Edwards Cem and Friendship Cem, alongside various water features like Shiloh Cr and Lake Adams. The southern portion of the sheet shows the modern trajectory of the Natchez Trace Parkway as it cuts through the rural townships, reflecting the long-term evolution of travel routes from early ferry crossings and local tracks to the established parkway and interstate corridors of the 21st century.
