About this map

Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport and its sprawling runways dominate the central landscape of this 2015 survey, illustrating the modern infrastructure of the state capital's eastern suburbs. The Kansas City Southern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting established residential developments like McLaurin Heights, Crossgates, and Castlewoods. The area is defined by the winding course of the Pearl River to the west and the southern reaches of the Ross R Barnett Reservoir in the northeast, which creates a complex hydrography of creeks including Hog Creek and Terrapin Skin Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the sheet, from Mount Elam Cem in the south to the Saint Matthew Cem near the river. The map also captures the distinct terrain of Bald Prairie and established neighborhoods such as Luckney and Sherwood Forest, showing the detailed street networks and community landmarks like Antonelli Coll that characterize this part of Rankin and Hinds counties.
