About this map

Tougaloo College and the surrounding community of Tougaloo anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the Madison Co and Hinds Co lines meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of suburban expansion and historical enclaves, including the established northern reaches of Jackson and the growing city of Ridgeland. The historic Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the center of the sheet, tracing a path north of White Oak Creek.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from larger grounds like Parkway Memorial Cemetery to smaller family and church-affiliated plots such as Holland Family Cemetery, Taylor-Simpson Cemetery, and the Rosa Scott School Cemetery. The western half of the map retains a more open character with significant water bodies like Lake Lorman and Lake Cavalier, while the Illinois Central railroad corridor serves as a reminder of the region's historical transportation spine.
