About this map

The Illinois Central Gulf railroad corridor anchors this survey of the Hinds and Copiah county line, where small communities and family landmarks define the landscape. The town of Terry serves as the central hub, featuring the Terry Academy and the historic Benevolent Society Cem. To the south, the northern edge of Crystal Springs is visible, marking the transition between these two important Mississippi municipalities.

Rural life is evidenced by a network of local roads connecting remote points like Morgans Store and Moneure. The map is particularly detailed regarding local congregations and burial sites, including Taylor Grove Ch, Pilgrims Rest Ch, and Egypt Hill. Numerous waterways, such as Beaverdam Creek and Vaughn Creek, carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that influenced early settlement and agriculture in this region.
