About this map

Vicksburg National Cem and the prominent height of Fort Hill overlook the northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, marking a terrain defined by complex drainage and suburban expansion. The survey shows the growth of residential clusters like Bellemeade, Lakewood, and Beechwood as they fill the spaces between historic corridors. Moving east from the city core, the landscape transitions into more dispersed settlements such as Newmans Grove and Culkin, where the land is still carved by the winding paths of Cooks Bayou and Wren Bayou.

Family and community history is anchored by numerous burial grounds, including Beulah Cem and Anshe Chesed Cem. To the south, the map details the residential layout of Bernard Acres and Southhaven near the meandering Redbone Cr. This 2012 representation captures a modern moment in the region's development, documenting the extensive road network that connects older communities like Porters Chapel to new developments while preserving the natural hydrology of Hatcher Bayou.
