About this map

Tallahalla Creek and its many tributaries, including Elda Hill Creek and Moore Spring Branch, define the hydrology of this rural Hinds County landscape. The area is characterized by scattered family-named cemeteries such as Carter Cemetery, Bedwell Cemetery, and Salmon Cemetery, which provide critical reference points for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. Small communities and junctions like Palestine, Dry Grove, Fairchilds Crossroads, and Midway anchor the local road network.

The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Hinds County Penal Farm and Raymond Lake, while the central region features the private Dogwood Acres Airport. The drainage patterns of Fourteenmile Creek and Snake Creek illustrate the low-lying nature of the terrain, where several small bodies of water like Jomar Lake and Bar S Lake have been established. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of the region as it transitions between small-scale agriculture and forest land.
