The Pearl River snakes through the heart of this central Mississippi region, serving as the historical dividing line between Hinds, Madison, and Rankin counties. At the turn of the century, Jackson and West Jackson appear as a growing railroad hub, where the Illinois Central RR intersects with the Alabama and Vicksburg RR and several other lines. This convergence of rail infrastructure supported significant institutions on the city's periphery, including the Insane Asylum, an Orphanage, and the campus of Tougaloo University to the north.
