1970 Map of Hero

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The boundary between Newton and Jasper Counties divides this 1970 landscape, centered on the community of Hero. This area of Mississippi is defined by a dense network of country churches and small rural hubs, including Garlandville and Twistwood. The topography is shaped by numerous watercourses, with Souinlovey Creek and Scotchenflipper Creek winding through the terrain. Evidence of local life and labor is visible in the scattered cemeteries, a Gravel Pit near Moss Hill, and family-named landmarks like McVay Creek. The map also captures the Hidden Valley Camp and various spiritual centers such as Wesley Chapel, New Concord Ch, and Mt Olive Ch, reflecting the social fabric of these communities during the late twentieth century. Fine red dashed lines throughout the map delineate field and fence lines interpreted from 1968 aerial photography, offering a detailed view of land use and property divisions of the era.
