About this map

Fourteenmile Creek and the many branches of Tallatalla Creek carve through this Hinds County landscape, defining the rural character of the region south of Raymond. The area is marked by a network of historic family-named burial grounds, including Salmon Cem, Bedwell Cem, and Carter Cem, which provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi.

Small communities and intersections such as Fairchilds Crossroads, Palestine, and Dry Grove anchor the local road system, which follows the natural contours of the land. The presence of Dogwood Acres Airport and private water bodies like Jomar Lake and Bar S Lake illustrates the modern land-use patterns of larger rural estates and agricultural tracts. This 2018 survey detail captures the enduring legacy of old through-routes like Old Port Gibson Road alongside the newer residential developments expanding from the county's established towns.
