1972 Map of Gillsburg

About this map

The Mississippi-Louisiana state line divides this 1970s landscape, where the Old Indian Treaty Boundary still traces across the terrain northeast of Gillsburg. The region is defined by the winding course of the Little Amite River and the East Fork, which carve through a mosaic of timber and small clearings. Settlement is largely rural, centered on crossroad communities like Peoria and numerous family-named landmarks that offer significant value for genealogical research.
