About this map

Jackson expands northward into a complex network of suburban developments and educational campuses in this 2016 study of Madison County. The landscape is defined by the intersection of major transit corridors and the meandering paths of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River and South Fork Forked Deer River. Academic centers such as Union Univ and Jackson State Community Coll anchor the central and southern portions of the sheet, while residential communities like Westwood Gardens and Hicksville show the density of the city's modern footprint.

Further north, the terrain transitions into a more rural character near the community of Three Way and the localized crossing at Youngs Crossing. This area preserves several family and community burial grounds, including Hicks Cem, Rushing Cem, and Hollywood Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Johnson Cr and Poplar Cr illustrate the natural hydrology that influenced the early settlement of outlying areas like Oakfield and Gilmore.
