2018 Map of Owens Wells

About this map

Owens Wells serves as a focal point for this rural Holmes County landscape, situated near the headwaters of Tarrey Cr and Turrey Cr. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and family-named cemeteries, reflecting the generational settlement patterns of central Mississippi. Along the eastern corridor, the crossing of Interstate 55 creates a modern contrast to the older crossroads communities like West Hill and the former rail-associated Aberdeen Junction. The geography is defined by a series of south-flowing drainages including Box Cr, Bisland Bayou, and Big Cypress Cr, which carve through the terrain. Numerous historic burial grounds such as Gages Springs Cem, Sproles Cem, and Wesley Chapel Cem are scattered across the townships, providing significant data points for genealogists tracing local families in the areas surrounding Macedonia Ch.
