About this map

Clinton serves as the focal point of this East Feliciana Parish landscape, where the East Feliciana Parish Courthouse stands as a central historic landmark. The surrounding countryside is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding course of the Comite River and its many tributaries such as Monahan Bayou, Bell Bayou, and Schlei Bayou. The settlement patterns here reveal small communities like Grays, Battle, and Browns connected by a web of parish roads and modern arteries like the Zachary Taylor Pkwy.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented across the township lines. Sites like the Masonic Cem, Hawsey Cem, and Rylander Cem are noted alongside several others, reflecting the deep-rooted local history of this region. The map also illustrates the transition from the town's street grid, featuring names like Silliman St, Plank Rd, and Feliciana Dr, to the expansive rural sections divided by drainage basins and timbered bayous.
