About this map

Ridgeland and its surrounding residential communities are the focal point of this 2012 survey, revealing the suburban expansion north of Jackson. The landscape is defined by established neighborhoods like Twelve Oaks, Summertree, and Cedar Hill, interspersed with numerous private lakes such as Lake Cavalier and Lake Lorman. The presence of the Natchez Trace Pkwy cutting through the center provides a historic transit corridor that contrasts with the modern developments of Woodhaven and North Colony.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of area burial grounds, including Rocky Hill Methodist Cem and the Tougaloo Garden Memorial Park. The map documents the intricate network of residential streets and arterial roads like Highland Colony Pkwy that replaced earlier rural patterns. Smaller settlements like Cynthia and Robinson Springs remain identifiable, anchoring the newer developments to the area's historical geography along White Oak Cr and Brashear Cr.
