About this map

The Amite River carves a winding path along the boundary between East Feliciana and St. Helena parishes in this 2015 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage, where numerous creeks such as Moccasin Cr, Lilley Cr, and Rocky Cr feed into the river basin. These waterways historically shaped the rural settlement patterns seen here, with family-named landholdings and small communities like Hatchersville and Gilead positioned on higher ground away from the floodplains.

For those researching family history in this portion of Louisiana, the map is a detailed record of local burial sites and rural infrastructure. Small, secluded cemeteries including Youngblood Cem, Powers Cem, and Pipkin Chapel Cem are documented alongside a web of local routes like Gilead Rd and Parish Road 70. The transition from the alluvial bottomlands of Bluff Creek to the more dissected uplands is clearly visible through the varied terrain elevations.
