About this map

Madison and Ridgeland anchor this landscape during a period of modern expansion along the Natchez Trace Pkwy. The mapping detail focuses on the suburban and residential growth north of Jackson, where established neighborhoods meet the expansive waters of the Pearl River and Pelahatchie Bay. Significant local heritage is preserved in numerous family and congregational burial grounds, including the True Vine Baptist Cem and Mount Charity Missionary Baptist Church Cem.

Aviation and education are central to the area's modern identity, represented by Bruce Campbell Field and the Tulane University Madison Campus. The map also captures the natural drainage of the region via Culley Cr and Haley Cr, and the preserved wilderness of Barnes Prairie, highlighting the transition from the densely developed city of Flowood to the more open lands of the Natchez Trace corridor.
