2015 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson stands as the central hub of this 2015 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by its educational institutions and complex transportation network. The state capital's academic footprint is prominent, with the campuses of Jackson State Univ, Millsaps Coll, and Belhaven Coll distributed throughout the urban core. The Pearl River serves as a natural boundary between Hinds and Rankin counties, while Le Fleur Bluff provides a distinctive topographical rise overlooking the river bottomlands. Industrial and aviation history is represented by the expansive Hawkins Field in the west and Flowood Industrial Airport to the east. The city's growth is traced through its neighborhood settlements like Woodland Hills and Northwest Hills, alongside older landmarks such as the Greenwood Cem and the Kansas City Southern rail lines. This map details the intersection of historic burial grounds like Cedar Lawn Cem and modern infrastructure including the Metro Pkwy.
