2018 Map of Pelahatchie

About this map

Pelahatchie serves as the focal point of this Rankin County landscape, where the intersection of traditional rail routes and modern thoroughfares like Service Dr shapes the town's layout. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pelahatchie Cem, Little Zion Cem, and Eastside Cem, are distributed across the area, providing critical points of reference for genealogical research. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pelahatchie Creek and its many tributaries such as Ashlog Cr and Eutacutachee Cr, which drain the surrounding Johnson Valley Hills. Small settlements and rural clusters like Gulde and Cross Roads are linked by a network of historic roads, including Old Wire Rd and Old Hwy 80. To the north, Ware Hill rises above the marshy wetlands near County Lake, while Payne Airport sits as a localized landmark west of the main town center.
