2012 Map of Jackson SE

About this map

The Pearl River corridor and its surrounding residential developments define this suburban landscape southeast of Jackson in the early twenty-first century. Massive infrastructure projects dominate the terrain, notably the extensive grounds of the Jackson-Evers International Airport and the southern edge of the Ross R Barnett Reservoir. Between these large-scale footprints lies a network of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, including Sherwood Forest, Castlewoods, and Skyway Hills. Historically significant sites are preserved amidst the modern growth, such as Saint Matthew Ch and several burial grounds like Drakes Cem and Liberty Cem. The area’s varied hydrology is evident through numerous water bodies, from the winding Terrapin Skin Cr to the localized Crossgates Lake. This survey provides a clear look at the region’s suburban transformation, where former switch points like Rice Switch have been absorbed into a landscape of parks and planned communities like The Commons and Grove Park.
