About this map

The ridge-and-hollow terrain of Warren and Hinds Counties comes into focus in this modern survey of the region northeast of Vicksburg. Small settlements like Oak Ridge and Flowers anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of narrow creek valleys, including Ballground Creek and Clear Creek. The geography here is historically dictated by these watercourses, which separate the high ridges where most homes and early roads were established.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Brickhouse Cemetery, Neely Cemetery, and Oakland Cemetery. The road network, featuring names like Dillon Ridge Road and Flowers Hill Road, reflects the long-standing land divisions of the Public Land Survey System. The southeastern corner of the map marks the boundary near the crossing into Hinds County, where Crouches Creek flows through the lower elevations.
