2018 Map of Utica West

About this map

The boundary lines of Hinds, Copiah, and Claiborne counties converge in this rural Mississippi landscape, dominated by the winding path of Bayou Pierre and its numerous tributaries. The settlement of Utica sits at the northeastern edge of the sheet, where Old Hwy 27 and the Utica Byp channel traffic through the region. To the south, the community of Carpenter serves as a local hub near the banks of White Oak Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of creeks like Big Sand Cr and Mud Cr, which have shaped the local topography into a series of ridges and hollows.
