1972 Map of Queens Hill Lake

About this map

The Big Black River meanders along the western edge of this territory, forming the natural boundary between Warren and Hinds counties. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous oxbow lakes and named bayous like Adams Bayou and Horseshoe Lake that reveal the river's shifting historical course. This area in the early 1970s shows a distributed rural settlement pattern, centered around small communities like Youngton and Lynchburg. Local life is anchored by a significant network of country churches, including West Harper Ch, Good Hope Ch, and Rose Hill Ch. Genealogists and researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Harris Cem and Birdsong Cem, while industrial activity is represented by multiple Gravel Pits scattered near Queens Hill Lake.
