About this map

Magnolia and Holden are central points of settlement in this part of Livingston Parish, where the Tickfaw River and its numerous tributaries like Crooked John Br and Bear Cr carve a network through the landscape. The region's genealogy is preserved in an unusually high density of family burial grounds, including the Causey Cem, Oliphant Cem, and Howze Cem, which sit alongside historic road corridors such as La 441 and La 442.

Southwest of these rural communities, the adjacent towns of Livingston and Doyle sit along the primary transport artery of Florida Blvd. This era of the landscape is defined by the transition from forested creek bottoms to established homesteads, many still identified by family-named landmarks like Drumwright Cem and Bankston Cem. The intricate hydrography, featuring names like Choctaw Br and Palmetto Br, indicates a well-watered territory that has historically shaped the placement of roads and farms.
