About this map

The Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument stands as a central historical landmark within the dense urban fabric of Jackson. This contemporary topographic survey illustrates the intersection of administrative and educational growth, featuring major institutions like Jackson State University, Millsaps College, and Belhaven University. The city's development is bounded by the winding Pearl River and significant natural elevations like Le Fleur Bluff and Bailey Hill.

Tracing the city's genealogy reveals a landscape of memory, from the Greenwood Cem and Cedar Lawn Cem to the site of Whites Ferry. Transport infrastructure, including the Kansas City Southern railroad and aviation hubs like Hawkins Field and Flowood Industrial Airport, highlights the region's role as a capital hub. The map also delineates the transition into neighboring Flowood, Pearl, and Richland, showing the expansion of the metropolitan area along the Hinds Co Rankin Co boundary.
