2020 Map of Learned

About this map

Learned and the surrounding rural landscape of Hinds County are bisected by the Natchez Trace Parkway, which follows the historic path of the old frontier road. This 2020 map documents a distribution of small communities and family landmarks, including Salem, Adams, and Morning Star. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering watercourses, most notably Fourteenmile Creek and Tallahalla Creek, which drain the wooded bottoms. Numerous burial sites such as Auburn Cem and Nalley Cem are situated throughout the area, often near historic crossroads and rural churches like Salem. This modern survey provides a detailed record of local infrastructure, from the Roach Bridge over the Tallahalla to the various farm roads and lanes that connect these long-standing Mississippi settlements.
