About this map

The Amite River winds through the rural corridor of the Florida Parishes in the early 1980s, marking the border between St. Helena Parish and East Feliciana Parish. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where numerous tributaries like Greasy Creek and Moccasin Creek feed into the main river channel. The settlement pattern is largely dispersed, with small centers like Hatchersville and Lilley serving as focal points for the surrounding rural community.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the concentration of country churches and burial grounds. Small, family-named landmarks and religious sites such as Matthews Chapel, Darlington Ch, and the Youngblood Cem reflect the area’s established social fabric. The presence of several distinct church-cemetery pairings, including Pipkin Chapel Cem, highlights the enduring nature of these community centers in a landscape dominated by timber and agriculture.
