About this map

The town of Chatham serves as the focal point of this Jackson Parish landscape, situated at the edge of Chatham Lake and surrounded by a dense network of local routes like Front St and Okaloosa Rd. The area is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. These sites, including Salem Cem, Old Bethel Cem, Wyatt Cem, and Henson Cem, are scattered across the timberlands and creek bottoms of the region.

The hydrology of the quadrangle is defined by the winding paths of Castor Creek and its many tributaries, such as Edwards Branch and Flat Creek. In the southern portion of the map, the landscape transitions toward the Caney Creek Reservoir, while the small settlement of Mount Moriah stands near its namesake Mount Moriah Cemetery. This 2018 survey provides an intricate view of the rural infrastructure and long-standing community landmarks throughout this part of North Louisiana.
