About this map

The Pearl River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking the boundary between Hinds and Rankin counties. The terrain is defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Whites and King, connected by winding roads like Rosemary Rd and Old Enochs Rd. Small communities and agricultural lands are centered around historical anchors, including Alonzo and the southern settlement of Gatesville.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community burial grounds, from Sinai Cem in the north to Antioch Cem and Lewis Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Mountain Cr, Bear Cr, and Rocky Cr illustrate how the physical geography dictated early settlement and road placement, with landmarks like Brown Hill Cem and Clear Branch Cem serving as focal points for local history.
