About this map

Mississippi College and Hinds Junior College anchor the educational landscape of central Mississippi in this mid-1930s survey, highlighting the academic heritage of Clinton and Raymond. The map illustrates a dense network of rural infrastructure, featuring numerous family-named schools like the Society Ridge Sch and Gillespie Sch, alongside a high concentration of country churches such as Hill of Zion Ch and St Pauls Ch.

Transport is dominated by the Illinois Central Railroad and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad, which connect established settlements like Bolton and Pocahontas. Notable social landmarks include the Dixon Old Mens Home and Kickapoo Camp. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bogue Chitto Creek and Bakers Creek, with local high points like Orange Hill providing relief to the predominantly agricultural and wooded countryside.
