2024 Map of Pelahatchie

About this map

The town of Pelahatchie serves as the central hub of this Rankin County landscape, situated at the intersection of significant rail and road corridors. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Pelahatchie Creek, Eutacutachee Creek, and the smaller Ashlog Creek, which drain the varied topography. The prominence of Ware Hill north of the town center offers a notable vantage point over County Lake, while the local infrastructure is anchored by Payne Airport and the smaller settlement of Gulde to the west. Local genealogy and community history are well-documented through numerous burial sites, such as the Pelahatchie Cem, Little Zion Cem, and Reagan Cem. This modern survey illustrates how traditional landmarks like Mineral Spring and Gum Lake persist alongside industrial development and updated transportation routes, providing a clear record of the area's current geographic character.
