2020 Map of Utica East

About this map

Utica anchor the western edge of this landscape where the borders of Hinds and Copiah counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including White Oak Creek, Tallahalla Creek, and Bear Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain south of the capital region. Educational roots are deep at the Hinds Community College campus, while local history is preserved at the Morning Star Cem and scattered rural settlements such as Chapel Hill, Carmichael, and Jack. A complex system of county roads and distinctive landmarks like the Rather Ford Bridge and Low Water Bridge Rd illustrate the traditional movement patterns across these creek bottoms and ridges. This modern survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and family-named roads like Ike Dowe Rd and Johnny Davis Rd that characterize the contemporary settlement of south-central Mississippi.
