About this map

Coleman Town and Chipola are central points of interest in this rural corridor along the border of St. Helena Parish and East Felician Parish. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Turkey Cr, Buck Cr, and Sandy Run, which carve through the wooded terrain of northern Louisiana. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of early transportation crossings, such as Thompson Bridge over Spring Br and McAdam Bridge to the north, which link isolated parish roads and local lanes.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Wales Cem, Hurst Cem, and Kemp Cem. The map provides a clear picture of the area's rural settlement pattern, where small communities like Darlington are connected by a web of named routes like Doughty Rd and Fred Butler Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted land ownership and agricultural heritage of the region.
