About this map

Byram and New Byram serve as focal points for this study of southwestern Hinds County, where the transition from suburban expansion to rural timber and farmland is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Eleven Mile Cr and Rhodes Cr, with numerous small water bodies including Lake Wynndale and Reigelea Lake indicating local land management and recreational use. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Big Creek Cem and Spring Ridge Cem, which anchor the histories of the surrounding settlements.

The residential clusters of Spring Ridge, Seven Springs, and Midway are shown alongside established crossroads like Bethesda and Pine Grove. At the southern edge, a distinctive loop of the Pearl River known as Wansley Bend marks the boundary near Terry. The dense network of secondary roads, from Coopers Well Rd to Springridge Rd, reveals the pattern of 21st-century development encroaching upon the historic township and range divisions of the Old Southwest.
