2018 Map of Clifton

About this map

The low-lying piney woods of Washington Parish are defined by the winding course of the Bogue Chitto river and its many tributaries, such as Hays Cr and Mud Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where modern parish roads follow long-established routes between small settlements like Warnerton and Clifton. The map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents an exceptional density of family and community burial grounds, including the Star Hill Cem and the Brumfield Cem near Jamaeson Cr. The terrain rises slightly at Bogue Chitto Mtn, while the surrounding bottomlands are crisscrossed by a complex network of local lanes like Sam Smith Rd and Silas Schilling Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted rural character of this Louisiana-Mississippi border region.
