About this map

The Big Black River meanders through this portion of Hinds County, defining a landscape of wetlands and small rural settlements. This 2012 survey captures the community of Lynchburg and the historic landing at Old Marley Landing along the river's eastern banks. The terrain is dotted with numerous small lakes and bayous, including Horseshoe Lake, Gillespie Lake, and Mosal Lake, which are characteristic of the river's shifting floodplain.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Harris Cem, Birdsong Cem, and Underhill Cem. Traces of older transport and infrastructure remain visible in labels like Jones Ford and Narrow Gauge Rd, reflecting the area's transition from early river-and-rail dependency to modern local routes. The southern edge is anchored by Queens Hill and the adjacent Queens Hill Lake, providing a clear look at the settlement patterns north of the interstate corridor.
