2020 Map of Mendenhall East

About this map

Mendenhall serves as a focal point for Simpson County, housing both the Simpson County Courthouse and the Simpson County Chancery Court Building. This corridor in central Mississippi follows the high ground between Terrapin Cr and Okatoma Cr, where the landscape is defined by small settlements and family burial grounds such as Poplar Springs Cem and Finley Cem. To the southeast, the unincorporated community of Sanatorium reflects a specialized history of public health, situated just north of the larger hub of Magee. The presence of the Copiah - Lincoln Community College Simpson County Center indicates the area's role in regional education. Smaller hamlets like Weathersby and Martinville are connected by a network of local routes, including Dewitt Flynt Rd and Athens Rd, which cut through the drainage basins of Sellers Cr and Little Cr.
