2018 Map of Dentville

About this map

Bayou Pierre meanders through the heart of this Copiah County landscape, defining the topography of a region marked by small rural communities and family burial grounds. The settlement of Dentville sits near the junction of Dentville Rd and Carter Hill Rd, serving as a central point between the smaller locales of Willing and Hoodtown. A distinct pattern of local history is preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the terrain, including Mount Zion Cem and Pine Bluff Cem near the banks of Sugar Cr. The map details a complex network of watercourses like Boggy Bayou and Turkey Creek, which drain the ridges and hollows. For genealogists, the placement of sites such as Mount Hope Cem and Flower Hill Cem alongside named local routes like Colonel Neill Rd provides specific geographic context for tracing family roots in this part of Mississippi.
