1964 Map of Ellisville

About this map

Ellisville serves as the focal point of this Jones County landscape during the early 1960s, shaped by the Southern RR and a network of small creeks and branches. The town is a significant institutional hub, home to Jones County Junior College and the Ellisville State Sch, along with Roosevelt Sch. Beyond the town limits, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Pleasant Ridge Ch and Tula Rosa Ch. The map records numerous burial grounds, including the Anderson-Minter Cem and the County Home Cem, providing essential data for local genealogical research. Waterways like Tallahala Creek and Rocky Creek dominate the drainage pattern, while scattered industrial sites such as a Gravel Pit and various sandpits suggest the local extractive economy of the mid-century era.
