About this map

Tickfaw River winds southward through this part of Livingston Parish, serving as a central geographic anchor for small communities like Magnolia and Starns. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Bear Cr and Crooked Cr, which historically dictated the pattern of early settlement and road placement. The prevalence of family-named cemeteries such as Bankston Cem, Courtney Cem, and Howze Cem offers significant genealogical value, marking the homesteads of established local families.

Industrial activity is evident through the Steward Branch Oil Field and North Livingston Oil Field, highlighting the region's reliance on natural resource extraction. The southern edge of the map features the established towns of Livingston and Holden, where the concentration of infrastructure and the local Po reflect the area's development. Recreational spaces like Camp Win A Friend and Camp Swinging Waters indicate the transition of these wooded riverlands into modern community assets.
