About this map

Georgetown serves as a focal point near the northern border of this Copiah County survey, situated near the confluence where the Strong River joins the Pearl River. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pearl River, which forms a natural boundary between Copiah and Simpson counties. Further south, the settlement of Rockport sits on the western bank, marked by the prominent Rockport Bridge crossing.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the rural terrain, including Lily Mae Cem, Providence Cem, and Galilee Cem. The transport network relies on a mix of named corridors like Railroad Ave and Fire Tower Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and forestry character. Numerous tributaries, such as Copiah Creek, Indian Cr, and Steel Cr, drain into the Pearl River basin, illustrating the complex hydrology that has shaped local settlement patterns for generations.
