1951 Map of Blevins

About this map

Blevins serves as the primary hub of this Hempstead County landscape, where the Prescott and Northwestern railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting small rural communities and industrial operations. The map documents a deeply established network of community landmarks, including the Blevins Training Sch and numerous country churches such as Bells Chapel Ch and Union Grove Ch. This mid-century survey reflects the transition of the local economy, shown through the presence of several Gravel Pits and the rural agricultural spread across the Garland and Ozan townships.
