2020 Map of Clifton

About this map

Bogue Chitto flows through the heart of Washington Parish, Louisiana, anchoring a rural landscape defined by extensive wetland networks and family-named cemeteries. Near the settlement of Warnerton, the terrain rises toward the local landmark of Bogue Chitto Mtn, while further south, the community of Clifton sits near the confluence of major drainage systems. The survey reveals a high density of burial sites that trace the region's genealogical history, including the Warner Cem, Magee Cem, and Bickham Cem. This web of parish roads, such as Parish Rd 158 and Parish Rd 27, connects these small communities and isolated homesteads across the bottomlands of Silver Creek and Hays Creek. The map provides a contemporary view of this piney woods region, showing the enduring spatial relationship between family legacies and the river environment.
