2020 Map of Port Gibson

About this map

Port Gibson stands as the historic center of this Claiborne County landscape, where the Claiborne County Courthouse and several significant burial grounds, including Wintergreen Cem and the Port Gibson Catholic Cem, mark the town's enduring heritage. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bayou Pierre and its tributaries, such as Little Bayou Pierre and Bakers Creek. The modern alignment of the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the region, roughly paralleling the older routes of the Natchez Trace Pkwy and Old 61 Hwy. To the southeast, the small settlements of Gordon and Pattison are connected by a network of rural roads like Pattison Tillman Rd and Lacache Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural past and the importance of creek-side family landmarks like Douglass Cem and Wilson Cem.
