2018 Map of Felps

About this map

Poverty Bayou and Stone Bayou wind through the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking the transition from the low-lying drainage basins of Louisiana toward the higher ground near the Mississippi state line. The settlement pattern is characterized by small, dispersed rural communities like Woodland, Felixville, and Felps, which are connected by a network of local roads such as Parish Rd 7-110 and Liberty St. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several family-named burial grounds, including Kent Cem, Gerald Cem, and Doughty Cem, which are often the only remaining physical markers of nineteenth-century farmsteads. The topography is defined by numerous small waterways, including Beaver Creek and Sandy Cr, that feed into larger regional systems. This 2018 update captures the enduring rural character of East Feliciana Parish, where the land remains largely devoted to timber and agriculture rather than suburban expansion.
