About this map

The Pearl River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking the boundary between Hinds Co and Rankin Co. This corridor is defined by a dense network of residential developments and historic markers that trace the growth of the Jackson periphery. The town of Florence anchors the southeastern corner, while smaller settlements like Cleary, Elton, and Lakeland dot the rolling terrain.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Lakewood Memorial Park South Cem, Smith Cem, and McGowen Cem. Notable landforms such as Stewarts Bluff and Tucker Bluff overlook the river valley, providing topographical context to a region shaped by proximity to the state capital. The map also records numerous smaller water bodies, from Lake Mary to Lake Bonnie Webb, highlighting the area's aquatic character just south of the interstate corridor.
