About this map

New Byram and its surrounding residential developments define this landscape south of Jackson, where suburban expansion meets the winding course of the Pearl River. The 2012 topography shows a transition from structured neighborhoods like Lake Ridgelea Subdivision and Brookwood to the more dispersed rural character of Bethesda and Pine Grove. This survey is a detailed record of local geography just before Byram's continued growth, preserving the location of local landmarks like the Raymond Lookout Tower and the Big Creek Cem.

Water plays a central role in the area's layout, from the oxbow-rich Wansley Bend to numerous small lakes including Lake Catherine, Lake Dockery, and Lake Wynndale. The presence of established sites like Spring Ridge Cem and the settlement of Siwel provides a geographical anchor for those tracing family history in Hinds County, while the network of creeks including Snake Cr and Big Cr illustrates the natural drainage patterns of the region.
