1964 Map of Owens Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The settlement of Owens Wells anchors this mid-century portrait of Holmes County, Mississippi, where the Illinois Central railroad cuts through a landscape defined by creeks and small communities. A significant historical boundary, the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, traverses the northeastern corner, marking an era of shifting territorial lines. The area is dense with community landmarks such as Union Paradise Ch and Gages Springs Cem, reflecting a rural social structure built around local congregations and family burying grounds. In the southeast, Holmes County State Park provides a concentrated area of recreation near Macedonia Cem. The railroad network connects McMillan and West Hill before reaching Aberdeen Junction near the banks of the Big Black River, showing the importance of rail transport to these interior Mississippi settlements in the early 1960s.
