The Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport serves as a massive focal point for this 2018 study of the eastern Jackson metropolitan area, situated where the Rankin and Hinds county lines meet. The landscape is a complex mix of rapid suburban expansion and significant transit corridors, with the Kansas City Southern railroad and Highway 80 cutting through the heart of Pearl and McLaurin Heights. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds like Saint Matthew Cem and the Mount Olive Cem, while the northern edge is defined by the Ross R Barnett Reservoir. Educational and industrial growth is evident through Hinds Community College Rankin Campus and Antonelli College, showing how the modern suburban clusters of Flowood and Brandon have evolved around the natural features of Bald Prairie and the Pearl River.
