About this map

The Amite River winds through the borderlands of Louisiana and Mississippi, defining the boundary between East Feliciana and St Helena Parishes. This mid-1980s landscape is characterized by its numerous small creek drainages, such as Spring Branch, Turkey Creek, and Darling Creek, which feed into the larger river system. Local life is anchored by small settlements and rural crossroads like Chipola, Woodland, and Coleman Town, each surrounded by family-named landmarks and local sites of worship.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial sites and churches, including Riverside Ch, Hurst Cem, and Wales Cem. The area near Darlington in the south shows a network of unimproved roads and trails connecting these remote communities, while a Pumping Station near the river suggests the industrial or agricultural infrastructure required for water management in this low-lying river basin.
