1964 Map of Ovett

About this map

De Soto National Forest blankets much of this terrain along the border of Jones and Perry counties, where the community of Ovett serves as a local hub. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bogue Homo and Sweetwater Creek, which wind through the pine-dominated lowlands. This mid-century survey captures a rural Mississippi economy transitioning between traditional timber management and small-scale gravel extraction, with scattered Gravel Pits appearing near the various creek branches.
