1988 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Big Black River meanders across the southern boundary of this late-1980s topographic survey, marking the intersection of Yazoo, Warren, and Hinds counties. The landscape is defined by the heavy dissection of the loess bluffs above the river valley, where numerous watercourses like Beaver Creek and Bear Creek have carved deep drainage patterns. The settlement of Phoenix serves as a local hub, characterized by the prominent Fire Tower Phoenix and nearby church and school sites. Further northwest, the small community of Germania sits along the ridges, reflecting the upland agricultural and timber patterns of this rural Mississippi region. Genealogists may find interest in several small Cem locations scattered throughout the hills, indicating family or community burial grounds tucked away from the main roads.
