About this map

Hermanville and the southern settlement of Barland serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of Claiborne County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little Bayou Pierre, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Clarks and Jameson branches. This area shows a deep-rooted social fabric through its numerous rural institutions, such as Hermanville Sch, Holly Grove Ch, and Mt Vernon Ch.

Transportation infrastructure is a prominent feature, with the Illinois Central railroad cutting north-south through the terrain and the Natchez Trace Parkway clipping the northwestern corner. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several small family or community burial grounds, including Shields Cem, French Cem, and Patrons Cem, many of which are tucked away from the main thoroughfares near local landmarks like the Gaging Station.
