1964 Map of Ebenezer

About this map

The unincorporated community of Ebenezer serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Mississippi interior. Situated along the border of Holmes Co and Yazoo Co, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Big Cypress Creek and Dry Creek. The area's social fabric is clearly visible through a high concentration of country churches and family burial grounds, suggesting a deeply rooted rural society. Names like St Peters Rock Ch, Holy City Ch, and New Canaan Ch dot the landscape alongside the Salem Sch. This map documents a traditional Southern agricultural pattern of dispersed settlements and small congregational centers just before modern consolidated development began to alter the character of the region.
