About this map

Bayou Pierre meanders through this portion of Copiah County, creating a complex drainage network defined by numerous tributaries like Yellow Sand Cr and Turkey Creek. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed rural communities such as Dentville, Hoodtown, and Willing, connected by a web of local roads including Dentville Rd and Hoodtown Rd. This landscape is deeply marked by its local heritage, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds.

Researchers will find a concentration of local history at sites like Green Cem, Flower Hill Cem, and Pine Bluff Cem. The terrain south of Sugar Cr remains largely rural, with features like Causey Lake and Holcomb Creek highlighting the area's natural hydrology. The map provides a precise layout of the township and range boundaries, such as t2n r4w and t1n r3w, which help anchor the locations of long-standing family landmarks like Purser and Pleasant Hill Cem.
