2020 Map of Edwards

About this map

Edwards sits at the intersection of a complex road and creek network in western Hinds County, where the landscape is deeply intertwined with Civil War history. The map highlights significant portions of the Vicksburg National Military Park concentrated around the site of Champion Hill, reflecting the terrain's strategic importance during the Vicksburg Campaign. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are bounded by the Natchez Trace Parkway, which follows the historic wilderness trail. Local history is preserved in the locations of Edwards Cem and Friendship Cem, while the winding courses of Fourteenmile Creek and Bakers Cr dictate the rural layout. Notable local infrastructure, such as Askew Ferry Rd and Military Rd, points to the older transportation routes that served the community before modern highways bridged these waters.
