About this map

Midway and the surrounding piney woods of south-central Mississippi appear here during a period of modern rural connectivity. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the S Fork Homochitto River and its numerous tributaries, including Sweetwater Cr and Providence Cr. For family historians, the area is rich with specific burial sites such as Mercy Seat Cem, Sweetwater Cem, and Peets Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community ties of Copiah Co and Lincoln Co.

A network of local roads like Jackson Liberty Rd and Midway Rd connects small settlements to the broader region. To the south, the community of Loyd Star sits near the headwaters of Shaws Cr, illustrating how development in this part of the state remains closely tied to the drainage patterns of the Bayou Pierre watershed. The map documents a quiet, residential and agricultural landscape where the topography is shaped by the constant movement of these many creeks and rivers.
