About this map

Blairstown and the village of Bluff Creek anchor this survey of East Feliciana Parish, a landscape defined by a dense network of winding bayous and small creek drainages. The area is notable for its numerous family and community burial grounds, including Gilead Cem, New Zion Cem, and Booker Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for local genealogical research.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the prominent Horton Bayou and Sandy Cr to smaller named branches like Cobb Br and McQuinney Br. The map also captures several local landmarks and recreational spots such as Avondale Boy Scout Lake and Idlewild Lake. The distribution of these features, alongside many parish roads like Lawton Robins Ln, reflects a rural settlement pattern where life has long centered around the various bayous and family homesteads.
