The Copiah County Mississippi map contrasts the I-55 corridor at Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs with a much broader Pine Hills interior. Wesson and Georgetown extend the reference southward and eastward, making clear that the county’s geography is not limited to the two interstate towns.

The decennial count and the July 2025 estimate represent different reference dates. Land and water values come from the 2025 Gazetteer. The density of 36.5 residents per square mile uses the 2020 population and land area; it does not imply an even distribution among towns, farms, forests, or floodplain.
Copiah County Mississippi map: What It Shows
Hazlehurst anchors the central interstate interchange, and Crystal Springs marks the northern market area. Wesson provides a southern reference near the Lincoln County line, while Georgetown identifies the far eastern side. MS 27 and MS 28 explain how travel moves away from the north–south spine into the hills.
County Layout and Location
With more than 777 square miles of land, Copiah is wide enough for the interstate to serve only one slice of the county. Pine-covered ridges and small drainages break the interior into local road networks. The eastern and western margins therefore require separate reference points rather than simple distance from Hazlehurst.
Local Context: Hazlehurst across the Pine Hills
Crystal Springs gained prominence through rail shipment of vegetables and became closely associated with tomato production. Hazlehurst developed as the county’s governmental and transportation center. Their paired corridor contrasts with the expansive timber, farm, and small-community landscape beyond US 51.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs the same municipality?
No. They are separate cities on the same general north–south corridor, and Hazlehurst is the county seat.
How can Pine Hills clarify the part of Copiah County facing Hinds?
Looking only at Hazlehurst would reduce the map to town labels, whereas Pine Hills explains the landscape transition toward Hinds.
