2024 Map of Edwards

About this map

Champion Hill serves as the focal point of this map, preserving a critical Civil War landscape through segments of the Vicksburg National Military Park. The town of Edwards is situated at the western edge, where its grid of streets like Utica St and Vicksburg St meet the corridor of Old Hwy 80. This area is defined by a dense network of drainages including Bakers Creek, Jackson Creek, and Fourteenmile Creek, which carve through the terrain east toward the military park boundaries. Genealogists can identify local burials at Edwards Cem and Friendship Cem, while the southern portion of the sheet is marked by the winding route of the Natchez Trace Parkway, illustrating the transition from local settlement patterns to preserved national heritage corridors.
