About this map

Jackson and its northern suburbs are defined by a complex landscape of drainage basins and institutional growth. The Middle Fork Forked Deer River and South Fork Forked Deer River frame the urban expansion, with residential developments like Westwood Gardens and Hicksville filling the space between these waterways. This era shows a significant concentration of higher education and professional training, featuring prominent campuses for Union University, Lane College, and the Jackson State Community College.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the landscape, from the historic Hicks Cem and Rushing Cem in the north to the large Mount Olivet Cem and Mount Calvary Cem closer to the city center. The transition from the dense street grids of the city to the outlying communities of Three Way, Carroll, and Oakfield illustrates the post-war suburbanization pattern of Madison County. Distinctive local landmarks like Construction Products Lake and the various branches of Turkey Creek provide a clear view of the area's natural topography before it reaches the more industrial edges of the city.
