2015 Map of Hazlehurst

About this map

Hazlehurst serves as the regional hub for this portion of Copiah County, where the historic street grid meets established landmarks like the Hazlehurst Cem and Lake Hazle. To the west and south, the terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Bayou Pierre and its many tributaries, including Mill Cr and Jones Cr. This landscape is marked by a network of rural settlements and family-linked burial grounds that speak to generations of local residency. Smaller communities such as Gallatin, Glancy, and Martinsville anchor the surrounding countryside, connected by historic routes like Old Natchez Rd and Old Port Gibson Rd. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous documented cemeteries, including Antioch Cem, Starling Cem, and Wade Cem, which are situated near established homesteads and country crossroads.
