About this map

Rodney stands as a focal point in this 2020 landscape, situated near the shifting banks of the Mississippi River at the border of Jefferson and Claiborne Counties. The area is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Mammy Judy Bayou and the winding Coles Creek, which drain the alluvial plains and loess bluffs. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds such as Laurel Hill Cem, Logan Cem, and Griffin Cem, alongside the Rodney Baptist Church.

The presence of the Natchez Trace Parkway cutting through the southeastern quadrant highlights the intersection of modern transit with ancient travel corridors. Local roads like Piazza Rd and Noble Swamp Rd navigate the lowlands near Piazza Lake, where the terrain transitions from the river's edge at Cottage Bend to the more interior bayous. This documentation provides a clear view of how land use and local geography persist in this riverfront region.
