About this map

Germania and Phoenix serve as the primary anchors for this rural landscape in central Mississippi, situated near the meeting point of Yazoo, Warren, and Hinds counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Big Black River, which forms a significant natural boundary in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A network of secondary roads, including Potters Ridge Rd and Mechanicsburg Rd, connect these communities through a landscape etched by Beaver Cr and Burtis Cr.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several family and community landmarks, such as Hilderbrand Cem, Hart Childress Cem, and Hebron Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the regional topography and the transition between upland ridges and the river bottomlands. Names like Cox Ferry Rd and Oak Grove Church Rd hint at the historical transportation routes and social centers that have shaped this portion of the Yazoo River basin over generations.
