About this map

The historic Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail winds through this landscape northeast of Natchez, tracing an ancient corridor of travel. To the north, the Foster Mounds and Foster Mound stand as significant archaeological landmarks near the settlement of Foster. The area's plantation history is quietly noted by Solitary Valley Plantation Rd and Greenwood Plantation Rd.

Modern transportation and community hubs are centered around the Hardy-Anders Field Natchez-Adams County Airport and the townships of Washington, Selma, and Morgantown. A dense network of family and community burial grounds, including Adams Cem, Trinity Cem, and Barland Cem, provides a detailed map for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the complex drainage of Saint Catherine Creek and its many tributaries like Melvin Bayou and Kittering Cr.
