2024 Map of Owens Wells

About this map

Owens Wells sits at a crossroads of small settlements and family burial grounds in rural Mississippi, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Bisland Bayou and Tarrey Creek. The area is notably dense with local history markers, particularly cemeteries that trace family lineages through the countryside, such as Owen Cem and Barksdale Cem. Near the center of the sheet, the McMillan settlement and West Hill represent the quiet residential character of Holmes County. The topography is shaped by numerous tributaries, including Shipp Creek and Big Cypress Creek, which historically dictated the placement of roads like Castalian Springs Rd and Owens Cut-Off Rd. Further south, Aberdeen Junction marks a point of historical transition near the wetlands and lowlands of the bayou system.
