1964 Map of Myrick

About this map

Bogue Homo and its many tributaries, including Pool Creek and Brushy Creek, define this rural landscape along the border of Jones and Wayne Counties. The mid-century settlement pattern is anchored by the community of Myrick and smaller clusters at Lightsey and Pineview. Spiritual and communal life in the 1960s was centered on numerous country churches such as Palestine Ch, Faith Chapel, and Lees Chapel, while family legacies are preserved at the Dennis Blackledge Cem and Sellers Cem.
