About this map

Clinton serves as the focal point of this East Feliciana Parish landscape, where the historic street grid is defined by names like Railroad St, Church St, and Feliciana Dr. The surrounding countryside is a network of bayous and small settlements, including Grays, Battle, and Browns. The geography is heavily influenced by the winding course of the Comite River and its numerous tributaries such as Monahan Bayou, Knighton Bayou, and Fisher Bayou.

For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its numerous family and community burial grounds. These range from the Masonic Cem in the northeast to the more remote Hawsey Cem, Beutoville Cem, and Rylander Cem. The map preserves the complex drainage patterns of the Louisiana lowlands, tracing named features like Schlet Bayou and Waterfall Bayou as they meander through the rural acreage surrounding the parish seat.
