1965 Map of Elm Park

About this map

Rosedown Plantation and Cottage Plantation anchor the landscape of West Feliciana Parish in the mid-1960s, reflecting the deep-rooted agricultural history of the region. This survey captures a rural landscape where family and community heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, such as Locust Grove Cem and Sage Hill Cem. The area is defined by its relationship with water and rail, with the Mississippi River and Thompson Creek forming significant boundaries, while the Illinois Central Railroad cuts through the western terrain near Beachwood. Educational and religious life are represented by the Rosenwald Sch and numerous country churches like Mt Pilgrim Ch and Raspberry Ch. The presence of the Audubon Memorial State Park marks a dedicated effort to preserve the local natural and historic legacy amidst the working farms and Gravel Pit operations of the era.
