2018 Map of Washington

About this map

The Foster Mounds stand as prominent landmarks in this landscape northeast of Natchez, marking a historic intersection of indigenous heritage and later settlement. This modern topographic survey reveals the rural and suburban character of Adams County, where the Natchez Trace Pkwy arcs across the terrain, linking communities like Washington, Selma, and Morgantown. The map is particularly notable for its density of burial grounds, including the Foster Mound Cem, Saint Marks Cem, and Rawlings Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in the region. The landscape is dissected by numerous waterways such as Saint Catherine Cr and Melvin Bayou, while infrastructure like the Hardy-Anders Field Natchez-Adams County Airport indicates the area's role as a regional transit hub. Further south, smaller locales such as Johnsville and Fenwick sit among winding creeks like Second Cr.
