2015 Map of Madison

About this map

The Ross R Barnett Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Mississippi region, where the Pearl River marks the boundary between Madison, Rankin, and Hinds counties. The Natchez Trace Parkway curves through the center, anchoring a network of residential developments and historic sites. Local genealogy is well-represented by several burial grounds, including the Old Christian Union Cem and the Melton Bennett Cem. This era of growth is visible in the transition from open lands to named communities such as Natchez Trace Village and Stonegate. Civil aviation centers on Bruce Campbell Field near Madison, while the Mount Charity Missionary Baptist Church serves as a prominent local landmark. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks, including Haley Cr and Culley Cr, which feed into the primary reservoir and river system.
