1965 Map of Hebron

About this map

Mt William Ch and Harper Cem anchor a rural landscape in Jones County defined by the winding course of Big Creek and its many tributaries. The settlement of Hebron sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, while the southern reaches are dominated by the wide bends of the Leaf River. The map reveals a community structured around its spiritual centers, with several country churches including Duck Hill Ch, Sweet Beulah Ch, and Morning Star Ch serving as primary landmarks across the rolling terrain. Industrial activity is minimal but visible at the Claypit near the center of the sheet, while natural features like Horseshoe Lake and Oakey Woods Creek highlight the swampy bottomlands near the river. This mid-century survey captures the region's transition into the modern era, showing established rural homesteads connected by a network of developing roads and pipelines.
