2012 Map of Fred

About this map

The Comite River meanders through this landscape north of Baton Rouge, shaping the settlement patterns of small communities like Fred and Deerford. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Beaver Cr and Redwood Cr, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and local roads. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds across the territory, such as Mount Holly Cem, Redwood Cem, and Douglass Cem, offering clues to the early residents of this Louisiana parish. Aviation activity is evident through private facilities like Country Breeze Airport and the Annison Private Airport, while recreational or social service sites like the Junior Deputy Camp reflect the mid-to-late 20th-century development of the region beyond simple agriculture.
