2018 Map of Georgetown

About this map

Georgetown and the unincorporated community of Rockport anchor this portion of the Piney Woods region in Mississippi, situated where the Strong River joins the Pearl River. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pearl, which serves as the county boundary for Simpson, Copiah, and Lawrence counties. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through numerous family and community burial grounds, including New Hope Cem, Lily Mae Cem, and Providence Cem. Significant river crossings are noted by the Rockport Bridge, which facilitates local travel near the confluence of Potato Br and Keys Cr. The map details a transition from the structured streets of Georgetown, such as Peachtree Rd and Railroad Ave, to the more rural expanses characterized by timber and agricultural lands drained by Indian Cr and Pegues Cr.
