About this map

Saint Francisville sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the higher ground of West Feliciana Parish meets the Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Thompson Creek, Alexander Cr, and Grants Bayou that carve through the upland parish landscape. This environment supported a series of established communities such as Elm Park, Hamilton, and Starhill, often centered around crossroads and family-named homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial sites across the quadrangle, including Locust Grove Cem near Elm Park and Washington Cem in the Hamilton area. The road network, including historic routes like Rosedown Plantation Rd and Bains Rd, reflects the agricultural and plantation history of the region. The map also captures modern infrastructure like the River Bend Power Station Rd, showing the evolution of the local economy alongside long-standing settlements like Freeland.
