2020 Map of Queens Hill Lake

About this map

Lynchburg and Youngton sit within a landscape defined by the winding course of the Big Black River, which forms the western boundary of this Hinds County region. The terrain is characterized by a high density of named water bodies and drainage basins, including Queens Hill Lake, Gillespie Lake, and the oxbow-shaped Horseshoe Lake. Genealogists will find several family-linked burial sites, such as Harris Cem, Henry-Grant Cem, and Birdsong Cem, scattered among the rural road networks. A curious historical remnant appears in the form of Narrow Gauge Rd, suggesting an era of specialized local transport that once served the area's agrarian or industrial needs. The drainage patterns of Porter Creek and Messenger Cr further illustrate the intricate hydrology of the bottomlands near the Warren and Hinds county line.
