1964 Map of Laurel East

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Laurel serves as the western anchor for this mid-1960s landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the scattered rural communities of Eastview, Powers, and Glade. The area is defined by its industrial and infrastructure roots, evidenced by the numerous claypits and oil wells dotting the terrain, alongside the junction of the Gulf Mobile and Ohio Railroad and the Southern Railway. To the east, the extensive waters of Lake Bogue Homo dominate the drainage basin, fed by the winding Bogue Homo and Cheely Branch. Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data in the several country churches and burial grounds, such as the East Pleasant Grove Cem and Nora Davis Memorial Cem, which sit near the Nora Davis Sch, reflecting the community-centric development of Jones County during this era.
