2024 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway and Loyd Star anchor this rural landscape in the 2020s, situated along the shared boundary of Copiah Co and Lincoln Co. This region is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the South Fork Homochitto River and Bayou Pierre, which carve through a dense grid of local roads and family-named lanes. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several small burial grounds such as Mercy Seat Cem, Peets Cem, and Sweetwater Cem provides essential spatial context for long-standing community hubs. The drainage patterns of Sweetwater Creek, Dry Creek, and Providence Creek illustrate the natural topography that has dictated land use and road placement for generations. This survey reflects the contemporary layout of Southwest Mississippi, where modern road names like Norton Assink RD NW and Jackson-Liberty RD intersect with historical settlement sites.
