2015 Map of Angola

About this map

Tunica Hills rise sharply from the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, creating a dramatic landscape of deep hollows and ridges that dominate the northern reaches of West Feliciana Parish. This area is defined by its complex hydrography, where the river's winding course has formed the massive Tunica Bend and left behind oxbow features like Raccourci Old River and Lake Killarney. The settlement at Angola is a focal point of activity, supported by the Angola Airstrip and a network of roads including Main St and La-66. Historically significant landings like Tunica Landing, Rowes Landing, and Como Landing suggest the enduring importance of river transport. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, including Saint John Cem, Rogillio Cem, and the high-elevation Point Lookout Cem.
