2012 Map of Raymond

About this map

Bolton and Raymond anchor this portion of Hinds County, where the landscape is defined by the dense drainage network of Bakers Cr and its tributaries, including Little Bakers Cr and Fleetwood Cr. The settlement pattern follows a clear transition from the older rural road networks, such as Champion Hill Rd and Old Highway 80, to the modern footprint of the John Bell Williams Airport. Evidence of early community life remains at the Bolton Cem and smaller locales like West View, Norrell, and Lindsey. In the southern reach, the terrain softens around Brytana Lakes and Turkey Spring, while the winding course of Snake Cr cuts through the southeastern quadrant. This survey captures a moment of modern aviation and highway development superimposed over a traditional Mississippi agricultural and creek-bottom landscape.
