About this map

The Big Black River basin shapes the terrain of this Mississippi landscape, marking the boundary between Warren and Hinds counties. Small settlements like Youngton and Lynchburg serve as local anchors, connected by a network of rural routes such as Narrow Gauge Rd and Halifax Rd. The area is notably dense with water features, from the oxbow-like curve of Horseshoe Lake to Queens Hill Lake and Gillespie Lake, reflecting the hydrological complexity of the river bottomlands.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle. Genealogists can locate the Harris Cem, Henry Grant Cem, and Birdsong Cem in the northern half, while the Underhill Cem sits on the eastern edge. This survey captures a moment of modern rural continuity, where traditional land divisions and family-named roads like John Warren Rd and Chandler Dr persist alongside the intricate wetlands and seasonal creeks like Halls Cr and Porter Cr.
