About this map

Fairchilds Crossroads and the surrounding Hinds County landscape appear here as a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Tallahalla Cr and Fourteenmile Cr, which dictate the placement of early road corridors like Oakley-Palestine Rd. Small communities such as Palestine and Dry Grove are centered around local intersections, while Salmon Cem, Bedwell Cem, and Carter Cem provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking early residents of the region.

Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the presence of Dogwood Acres Airport and small bodies of water like Raymond Lake and Bar S Lake. The map reveals a transition between agricultural land and wooded creek bottoms, with the settlement at Seven Springs situated near the headwaters of local drainages. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the area southwest of the state capital, where scattered homesites and country roads remain the primary features.
