About this map

The boundary between Madison and Hinds counties bisects this landscape, where the rural community of Pocahontas sits along the corridor of Medgar Evers Blvd. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer and family roots, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including Shady Grove Church Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Pocahontas Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Bogue Chitto Cr and Limekiln Creek, which flow through a mix of wooded patches and residential development.

Further south, the urban edges of Clinton and Jackson begin to emerge, connected by the scenic route of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Notable landmarks such as the Slobovia Outernational Airport and the settlement of Tinnin highlight the local character of the region. Water features like Kickapoo Lake and Straight Fence Cr punctuate the landscape, serving as focal points for the various named roads like Kennebrew Rd and Springdale Rd that weave through the countryside.
