About this map

Auburn and the surrounding Pike County countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably the winding Tangipahoa River and the E Fork Amite River. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape deeply rooted in family history and early industry, evidenced by the high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Genealogists can find the locations of the Terrell Cem, Wilson Cem, and Johnson Chapel Cem, which anchor the rural community.

Resource extraction is a prominent feature of the local economy, represented by the Smithdale Oil Field and Smithdale Field. These industrial sites are linked by a dense grid of local roads, such as SW Jackson Liberty Dr and SW Linefrank Line Rd, which connect isolated homesteads to the primary settlement at Auburn and the community of Oakland in the southeast. The map provides a precise look at the hydrology of the area, including McGehee Cr and Gordon Cr, as they drain through this agricultural and timber-rich region.
