About this map

The Bogue Chitto river meanders through the heart of Washington Parish, anchoring a landscape defined by the seat of Franklinton. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern street grid of the town, including its central Po and the residential expansion toward Sweet Rest Cem. Beyond the town limits, the territory remains largely rural, dotted with smaller communities like Bickham and Richardson.

Family history is deeply embedded in the terrain, marked by numerous small burial grounds such as Magee Cem, Stafford Cem, and Stringfield Cem. The map provides a clear view of the complex drainage network feeding into the river, with Mile Br and Richardson Br cutting through the countryside. These features, combined with named roads like John Smith Rd and Martin Luther King Dr, reveal the evolution of local land ownership and community development in the early 21st century.
