About this map

Pelahatchie serves as the central hub of this eastern Rankin County landscape, where the intersection of traditional routes and modern infrastructure defines the local geography. The town is flanked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Reagan Cem, Little Zion Cem, and Pelahatchie Cem, reflecting a deep-rooted social history across the townships. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Gulde is situated near Payne Airport, while the community of Cross Roads occupies the southern reaches of the map.

The physical environment is shaped by the winding courses of Pelahatchie Creek and Eutacutachee Cr, which drain the varied terrain marked by Ware Hill. Significant water features like County Lake and Mineral Spring indicate the area's natural resources and land use patterns. This survey also records a network of historical thoroughfares such as Old Hwy 80 and Old Wire RD, which parallel the modern highway corridors and offer a look at the region's earlier transportation layout.
