2012 Map of Dentville

About this map

Bayou Pierre meanders through the heart of this Copiah County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by numerous creeks and family-named landmarks. The small settlements of Hoodtown, Dentville, and Willing serve as the primary hubs in this rural region, connected by a network of winding roads like Dentville Rd and Hoodtown Rd. The distribution of local history is most evident in the scattered burial grounds that dot the area, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Mount Zion Cem, which suggest the deep roots of established communities here. To the south, Causey Lake and the waters of Boggy Bayou provide distinct geographic markers. The presence of several other cemeteries, such as Flower Hill Cem and Mount Hope Cem, offers valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Mississippi during the early 21st century.
