About this map

Blairtown and the eponymous Bluff Creek community anchor this East Feliciana Parish landscape during the early 1980s. The area is characterized by a dense network of waterways, including Sandy Creek, McQuinney Bayou, and Little Bayou Richards, which carve through the terrain. A notable institutional presence is the Louisiana State University Experiment Station, reflecting the region's agricultural research importance.

For genealogists, this survey is particularly valuable for its high density of family-named burial sites and small landmarks. From the De Armond Cem in the north to the Lipscomb Cem and Irwin Cem in the south, the map documents the distributed nature of local history. Rural life is further mapped through landmarks like St Johns Ch, New Zion Cem, and Willis Pond, providing a detailed view of the parish before late-20th-century developments altered the rural fabric.
