About This Site

This interactive site was created by Joseph Willman, a freelance cartographer and GIS specialist, as an independent project inspired by the Mississippi Blues Trail. While not affiliated with the Mississippi Blues Commission, this project was developed to showcase both the historical and cultural importance of the trail.
