2015 Map of Morton

About this map

The town of Morton and the surrounding woodlands of the Bienville National Forest define this area of central Mississippi. Situated on the border of Rankin and Scott counties, the landscape is marked by a network of waterways including Pelahatchie Creek and the Strong River, which flow through a mix of timberland and rural settlements. To the south, smaller hubs like Kracker Station, Independence, and Stage are connected by country roads such as Line Creek Rd and Stage Rd. The presence of several family and community landmarks, such as East Morton Cem, Walker Cem, and Line Creek Cem, offers a detailed map for those tracing local lineages or the history of these small communities during the mid-2010s. Modern transportation corridors, specifically Interstate 20 and Highway 80, bisect the terrain, mirroring the paths of earlier thoroughfares like Old Hwy 80 W and Old US-80.
