2018 Map of Hazlehurst

About this map

Hazlehurst serves as the primary hub of this Copiah County landscape, where the street grid fans out into the surrounding piney woods and agricultural lands of central Mississippi. To the west, the settlement of Gallatin sits near the headwaters of Johnson Cr, while Martinsville and Glancy mark the smaller community nodes that define the local geography. The area is heavily intersected by creek systems including Bayou Pierre, Mill Cr, and King Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the placement of historic routes like the Old Natchez Rd and Old Port Gibson Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data points across the sheet, with several family and community burial grounds documented, such as Wade Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and Tyson Cem. From the waters of Lake Hazle to the winding course of Bahala Cr, the map illustrates a landscape where modern infrastructure meets deeply rooted rural tradition.
