1938 Map of Edwards

About this map

The winding course of the Big Black River forms the central boundary of this landscape, separating the irregular hills of Warren Co from Hinds Co. The town of Edwards serves as a primary hub, situated where the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad tracks cut across the terrain. This era of settlement is defined by an unusually dense concentration of community institutions, from the prominent Mt Beulah College to a network of rural schools and uniquely named churches like Little Kingdom Come Ch, China Grove Ch, and Radiff Chapel.
