2018 Map of Bush

About this map

Talisheek and Bush anchor this landscape in St. Tammany Parish, where a dense network of tributaries feeds into the local river systems. Numerous family cemeteries, including Lavinghouse Cem, Crawford Cem, and Quave Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant touchstones for genealogical research. The geography is defined by complex wetlands and water bodies such as Talisheek Swamp, Goodyears Pond, and Mule Bay. The map reveals a land structured by rural transport routes like Columbia Rd and Vernon Talley Rd, weaving between named branches and breaks. This pattern of drainage and small settlements illustrates a long-standing reliance on the local hydrology, with Bogue Chitto and Deer River appearing at the northern edge, shaping the distribution of farmsteads and rural residences across the township and range divisions.
