Where We Drill: the Seven-County Metro

Jackson, MS HDD service area — 7 component counties, principal and satellite cities — The central Mississippi service area — U.S. Census Bureau county boundaries; cities marked are where crews most often mobilize.

The service area is the OMB-defined Jackson metro — Hinds, Madison, Rankin, Copiah, Simpson, Yazoo, and Holmes counties, from the capital's core to the growth arcs and the delta's doorstep. County pages below carry the local picture: the corridors, the clay, and the authorities whose permits govern crossings.

Hinds County

The capital county: Jackson's core, the medical corridor, Clinton's ridge, and the rebuild.

Madison County

The northern arc: Gluckstadt to Madison, the Nissan belt, and the reservoir shore.

Rankin County

The eastern engine: Flowood, Brandon, and Pearl across the river from the capital.

Yazoo County

The namesake county: the hills meeting the delta at the clay's own home ground.
