1965 Map of Hebron

About this map

Hebron serves as the primary settlement hub in this rural landscape of Jones County, situated where winding waterways and local roads intersect. The topography is dominated by the meandering Leaf River along the southern edge and the central corridor of Big Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries such as Harper Branch and Deadman Creek. This mid-century survey reveals a deeply established community identity rooted in local congregations and family landmarks. Small rural churches like Mt William Ch, Morning Star Ch, and Sweet Beulah Ch are scattered throughout the hills. Evidence of local industry and resource extraction is visible through markings for a Mill on Deadman Creek and a Claypit to the north, while several family and community burial grounds, including Welch Cem and Hill Cem, offer critical data points for genealogical research.
