1938 Map of Edwards

About this map

The Big Black River snakes along the boundary between Warren and Hinds counties, creating a landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands such as Gin Lake, July Lake, and Tomcat Island. In the mid-1930s, this area was defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, notably featuring Mt Beulah College and an extensive array of community hubs like Little Kingdom Come Ch and China Grove Ch. The settlement of Edwards serves as a central point, with the surrounding hillsides dotted by specialized sites including Champion Hill and numerous schools like Holy Hill Sch and Oak Ridge Sch.
