About this map

St. Francisville anchors the southwestern edge of this West Feliciana Parish survey, where the bluffs overlook the winding Mississippi River. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the river, including Alexander Cr, Chaney Cr, and Grants Bayou, which carve through the rising elevation of the interior. The rural character of the parish is evident in the scattered family and church burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Locust Grove Cem, Butler Cem, and Washington Cem.

Large land tracts and former estates are suggested by labels like Rosedown Plantation Rd and Pohlman Rd, reflecting the deep agricultural roots of the region. Small communities such as Starhill, Elm Park, and Beachwood serve as local landmarks along the secondary road network. The topography is notably varied, moving from the river flats up into the dissecting ravines of Sweetwood Hollow, illustrating the classic loess-bluff geography of this portion of Louisiana.
