About this map

Utica anchor the northwestern portion of this Hinds County landscape, where the town street grid transitions into a network of rural roads following the rolling topography. The survey shows a distinct border transition across the Hinds Co Copiah Co line, where the drainage basins of Tallahalla Creek and White Oak Creek define the movement of early travel. Small rural nodes like Carmichael, Bear Creek, and Jack illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of central Mississippi.

Genealogists will find interest in the Morning Star Cem and local family landmarks such as the Rather Ford Bridge. The landscape is etched with numerous creek branches, including Indian Cr and Saddlers Cr, which shaped the placement of early crossings like those found along Low Water Bridge Rd. This survey documents the intersection of historical township boundaries and the agricultural road networks that have served the region for generations.
