About this map

The Tangipahoa River defines the western edge of this landscape, its winding course fed by numerous tributaries like Spring Br and Hyde Br. In this part of Tangipahoa Parish, the settlement pattern is characterized by small communities and a high concentration of family cemeteries, reflecting deep ancestral roots in the area. The map identifies several of these important genealogical sites, including the distinct Old Bankston Cem and New Bankston Cem near the southern boundary, and the Barron Cem to the north.

Industrial activity is represented by the Wilmer Oil Field, situated between Chesbrough and the settlement of Sandy Hollow. The network of rural roads, such as Bond Rd and Ruffin Rd, connects these residential hubs with outlying agricultural lands. Along the eastern edge, the landscape transitions toward the drainage of Big Cr and the community of Bolivar, illustrating the region's reliance on its complex river and creek systems.
