2018 Map of Port Gibson

About this map

Port Gibson serves as the focal point of this Claiborne County survey, where a dense network of streets like Church St and Carroll St meet near the Natchez Trace Pkwy. The area is notably dense with resting places of historical significance, including the Jewish Cem, Catholic Cem, and the expansive Wintergreen Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bayou Pierre and Little Bayou Pierre, which carve through the terrain north and south of the main settlement. Further afield, smaller communities such as Gordon and Pattison are connected by local routes, while family-named landmarks like Wilson Cem and Turnipseed Cem provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The mapping of small tributaries such as Chicago Br and Hardtimes Br illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and settlement in this part of Mississippi.
