About this map

Pocahontas Mound stands as a significant landmark in this region north of Jackson, where the rural character of Hinds County meets the advancing residential developments of the 21st century. The map depicts a landscape defined by the winding course of Bogue Chitto Cr and its tributaries like Limekiln Cr and Straight Fence Cr. Historic settlement patterns are anchored by the community of Pocahontas, which is situated near the Pocahontas Cem and several other local burying grounds including Shady Grove Cem and Cedar Grove Cem.

Modern infrastructure and recreation are represented by the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail, which cuts through the southeastern corner near the established neighborhoods of Presidential Hills and Pinehaven Estates. Smaller communities like Tinnin and Green Crossing maintain their identity along the secondary road network, while Kickapoo Lake provides a focal point for the interior terrain. This survey documents the specific blend of archaeological heritage and suburban growth at the time of the 2014-2015 data collection.
