About this map

Jackson anchors this capital city survey where the Pearl River divides Hinds and Rankin counties. The landscape transitions from the urban density of the city center to the industrial corridors of Richland and Pearl in the south and east. Higher ground is marked by Bailey Hill and the prominent Le Fleur Bluff, while the city’s academic and civic core is defined by Jackson State University, Millsaps College, and the complex of judicial buildings including the Carroll Gartin Justice Building - Supreme Court of Mississippi.

Transportation networks define the regional development, with the Canadian National RR and Kansas City Southern RR cutting through the heart of the city. Significant open spaces like Hawkins Field and Lake Hico contrast with the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the area, including Greenwood Cem, Cedar Lawn Cem, and Willow Park Cem, providing vital reference points for local history and genealogical research.
