About this map

Midway and the surrounding timberland and creek bottoms of Copiah County are documented in this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the S Fork Homochitto River and Bayou Pierre, with several smaller tributaries like Sweetwater Cr and Providence Cr carving through the terrain. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Mercy Seat Cem, Peets Cem, and Sweetwater Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogy.

Small communities such as Old Red Star and Loyd Star are connected by a network of rural roads, including Jackson Liberty Rd and Midway Rd. The settlement pattern remains largely rural, following the high ground between the various creek basins like Jackson Cr and Dry Cr. This modern topographic study provides an exact record of property access and land use in this part of Mississippi just after the first decade of the millennium.
