2020 Map of Auburn

About this map

Auburn and Mars Hill anchor a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the E Fork Amite River and the Tangipahoa River. Located at the intersection of Amite, Lincoln, and Pike counties, this territory is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Montgomery Cem and Johnson Chapel Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted settlement history. The network of rural routes like Jackson Liberty Dr SW and Chisholm Rd connect scattered homesteads across a dissected terrain of creeks and branches, including Adam Cr and McGehee Cr. In the southeast, the approach to Mccomb and the settlement of Oakland indicates a shift toward more concentrated development along the Little Tangipahoa River. The concentration of sites like Whittington Cem and Everett Cem provides valuable points of interest for genealogical research in this tri-county border region.
