1964 Map of Heidelberg SW

About this map

The corporate boundary of Heidelberg anchors the northwest corner of this 1964 survey, where the Southern railroad line cuts through a landscape defined by an intricate network of creek drainages and political borders. This area serves as a significant junction for four Mississippi counties—Jasper, Jones, Clarke, and Wayne—marked by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that bisects the terrain. Rural life is evidenced by a high density of community landmarks, including the Bogue Homo Sch and numerous country churches like Choctaw Ch and Beaver Meadow Ch. The topography is dominated by the winding paths of Bogue Homo and its many tributaries, such as Eucutta Creek and Thompson Creek. Notable for genealogists, several family-named burial sites like Blackledge Cem and Oak Grove Cem are documented alongside infrastructure like the Pumping Station, illustrating the mid-century intersection of traditional settlement and industrial development.
