2015 Map of Shady Grove

About this map

The town of Sardis and its surrounding countryside in Copiah County anchor this survey, revealing a landscape defined by small settlements and numerous family and community cemeteries. The terrain is marked by a network of local roads such as Monticello Rd and Georgetown Rd, which connect the rural outposts of Ashley and Shady Grove to the larger seat at Hazlehurst. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township lines, including Bethel Cem, Mullens Cem, and the Russell-Tillman Cem. The local hydrology is dominated by a complex web of tributaries like Bahala Cr, Lick Cr, and Copiah Creek, which carve through the elevations and likely influenced the early road patterns and property boundaries in this part of Mississippi.
