2018 Map of Midway

About this map

The boundary between Copiah and Lincoln Counties divides this section of southwest Mississippi, where small-scale rural settlements are interspersed among the headwaters of the S Fork Homochitto River and Bayou Pierre. The unincorporated community of Midway serves as a local focal point, surrounded by family and community landmarks such as Peets Cem and Sweetwater Cem. Further south, the settlement of Loyd Star appears near the banks of Jackson Cr. The map's detailed road network, including names like Jackson-Liberty Rd and Old Red Star Rd NW, reflects a long-standing pattern of agricultural and timber connectivity. Family history is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including the Mercy Seat Cem near the upper edge and Macedonia Cem in the southeastern corner near the Macedonia community, providing essential geographic context for genealogical researchers studying this region.
