2012 Map of Chipola

About this map

The Amite River and its numerous tributaries, including the E Fork Amite River and W Fork Amite River, create a dense hydrological network throughout this portion of Saint Helena Parish. This 2012 survey shows a landscape defined by small settlements and rural road systems, where Chipola sits as a central point of intersection. Further south, Coleman Town and Darlington mark the lower reaches of the map near the winding Sandy Run. Genealogists may find particular value in the several documented burial sites that dot the area, such as Hurst Cem, Kemp Cem, and Wales Cem. The road network is heavily influenced by the meandering paths of Buck Cr and Joiner Cr, with routes like Fred Butler Rd and Otis and Willie Matthews Rd connecting family lands and local communities in this piney woods region of the Louisiana-Mississippi border.
