About this map

Flora serves as a central hub in this Madison County landscape, where the convergence of modern road networks meets a deep local history preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds. The transition from the alluvial bottomlands of the Big Black River to the upland terrain is marked by distinctive features like Archers Island and the prominent Mound Bluff near the Yazoo County line.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of historical sites, ranging from the Vernon Cemetery and Smith Chapel Cemetery in the north to the Fearns Chapel Cemetery and Hammack Cemetery further south. The map documents the spatial arrangement of established settlements like Vernon and Kearney Park, alongside aviation landmarks such as Root Hog Airport and E E Lane Airport, reflecting a mix of rural tradition and contemporary infrastructure.
