About this map

The Pearl River meanders through this landscape, marking the complex boundary between Madison, Rankin, and Scott Counties. The river's winding path is flanked by numerous oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Tupelo Gum Lake, Richards Old River, and Alligator Lake. In the northwest, the Natchez Trace Parkway and the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail cut across the terrain, following the historic path of the old wilderness road. This 2018 survey reveals a rural landscape where local history is anchored by family and community landmarks like Eureka Cem, Midway Cem, and the Old Iron Cem. To the southwest, the upper reaches of the Ross R Barnett Reservoir begin to take shape, while small-scale infrastructure like Pace Airstrip and a network of timber and access roads like Dummy Line Rd suggest the area's ongoing connection to forestry and aviation.
