2024 Map of Chesbrough

About this map

Chesbrough and Bolivar anchor this corner of Tangipahoa Parish, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Tangipahoa River and a dense network of creek branches. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by numerous family and church burial grounds such as Lebo Cem, Varnado Cem, and the Old Bankston Cem. Local road names like M L Varnado Rd and Monroe Stevens Rd further emphasize the generational ties to the land. This survey illustrates how the timbered uplands drain into significant watercourses like Big Creek and Sandy Hollow, while modern developments like Providence Ests begin to appear near the southern boundary. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of community centers like the Bolivar Baptist Cem and Good Hope Church Cem, which serve as long-standing geographic landmarks for the surrounding homesteads.
