About this map

Clinton and Jackson anchor this late-1950s landscape in East Feliciana Parish, where the local economy and social structure are reflected in an extensive network of rural churches and family cemeteries. The Illinois Central railroad corridor connects the northern settlements of Norwood and Wilson down through McManus and Ethel. Notable institutional landmarks include the Louisiana State Hospital and its associated residential areas, State Hospital Colony No 1 and State Hospital Colony No 2.

Educational history is represented by the Parish Industrial Training Sch and the Ross and Dilly Sch, while the presence of the McCutchen Landing Field and the Wilson Lookout Tower highlights mid-century infrastructure. Numerous small waterways, such as Redwood Creek and Comite Creek, drain the terrain, which is dotted with sites of genealogical interest like the Richland Cem & Ch and Beach Grove Ch No 1 Cem.
