2024 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Pine Ridge and the neighboring community of Anna anchor this section of Adams County where the Mississippi River alluvial plain meets the rolling loess bluffs. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous backwater features like Pumping Station Slough, Fields Lake, and Junkins Lake lying near the transition from Mercer Island to the higher ground. A network of local roads including Church Hill Rd and Linwood Rd connects several family cemeteries, including Adams Cem and the Drake - Magruder Cem, which are significant for local genealogical research. In the southeast corner, the Natchez Trace Parkway and Emerald Mound Rd signify the area's deep ties to ancient and early American travel routes, skirting the many bayous such as Dunbar Bayou and Pine Mount Bayou that drain the interior forest.
