About this map

The Tangipahoa River flows along the western edge of this landscape, anchoring a network of creek drainages in Tangipahoa Parish. The settlement patterns reflect a deep-rooted rural community, with small nodes like Chesbrough, Bolivar, and Sandy Hollow connected by a web of local roads such as Jeff Bankston Rd and State Rte 1059. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, including Big Creek, Bunch Br, and Hyde Br, which create a complex of bottomlands and low ridges.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for the unusual density of family-named burial sites. Numerous cemeteries are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Lebo Cem, Varnado Cem, Barron Cem, and Hyde Cem. The southern reach near Roseland shows the transition toward more established parish infrastructure, while the rest of the map preserves the character of small timber and agricultural holdings.
