About this map

Bogue Chitto meanders through the heart of this Washington Parish landscape, anchoring a rural territory defined by small settlements and family-named landmarks. The community of Enon serves as a local hub, home to the Enon Baptist Church Cem and Zaborn Magee Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of the area. Further north, the tiny settlements of Willis and Zona mark the edge of the parish near Water Hollow.

The geography transitions from the wetlands of the Black Swamp and Black Bayou in the east to the higher ground supporting Warner Thunder Hill Airport in the south. The abundance of family burial grounds, including the Fussell Cem, Mizell Cem, and Adams Cem, indicates a traditional land-use pattern where homesteads and small farms were established along the tributaries of the Simalusa Cr and House Cr. This survey captures the boundary where Washington Parish meets St. Tammany Parish, illustrating the continued importance of these historic parish lines in defining the region.
