1984 Map of Bluff Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Louisiana State University Experiment Station serves as a central landmark in this 1984 survey of East Feliciana Parish, where the local economy and landscape are defined by a dense network of bayous and creeks. The terrain is notably etched by the winding paths of Sandy Creek, McQuinney Bayou, and Horton Bayou, creating a complex drainage system that dictated the placement of early settlements. Small rural hubs like Blairstown and the namesake Bluff Creek community appear alongside numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Gilead Cem and Nesom Cem. These cemeteries, often positioned on higher ground near watercourses like Little Sandy Creek, provide significant genealogical data points for researchers. The presence of the Steel Tower Powerline cutting across the landscape contrasts with the traditional settlement patterns of old farms and ponds like Willis Pond.
