1965 Map of Eastabuchie

About this map

The Leaf River and Bowie River confluence defines this rural landscape on the border of Jones and Forrest counties. During the mid-1960s, the area maintained a distinct agricultural and small-town character, with the Southern railroad line serving as a primary corridor through Eastabuchie and Moselle. The map reveal a dense concentration of family and community heritage sites, including numerous small burial grounds like Callahan Cem and Edmonson Cem, alongside rural congregations at New Zion Ch and Pine Grove Ch. A notable modern addition to the landscape is the WDAM-TV Radio Tower near the river, while a Drag Strip in the southern section highlights the recreational culture of the era. The presence of Sandpits and Sandpit operations along the riverbanks points to the local extractive industry that shaped the river corridor.
