1963 Map of Dentville

About this map

The community of Dentville anchors this mid-century landscape in Copiah County, where the winding course of Pierre Bayou and its numerous tributaries like Turkey Creek and Sugar Creek define the local topography. This survey, field-checked in the early 1960s, documents a rural network of small settlements and neighborhood gathering points, including Willing and Hoodtown. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies several rural congregations and burial grounds such as Fair View Ch, New Mt Zion Ch, and Flower Hill Cem.
