About this map

Fairview Grant PO serves as the primary node of settlement in this rural landscape spanning the border of Beauregard and Allen Parishes. Surveyed shortly after the war, the map reveals a community defined by its watercourses and rural institutions. The winding Whisky Chitto Creek and Sixmile Creek dominate the drainage pattern, while the presence of the Old Camp Ground Cem and Hamilton Cem suggest deep-rooted family ties to the land. This era captures the area before modern consolidation, with localized centers of worship and community like Palestine Ch, Palestine Mission Ch, and Arkadelphia Ch scattered across the timbered sections. The mapping of small tributaries such as Little Soapstone Creek and Caney Branch provides a fine-grained look at the drainage and terrain that once dictated the placement of early homes and small-scale agriculture in this part of Louisiana.
