About this map

The Tickfaw River meanders through the central corridor of Livingston Parish, defining a landscape shaped by numerous small tributaries such as Bear Creek and Mayhaw Branch. Along the southern edge, the communities of Livingston, Doyle, and Holden follow the corridor of Florida Blvd, where the parish seat and local commerce are concentrated. The interior of the quadrangle is notably rural, characterized by a network of local roads like La 1036 and La 441 that connect scattered settlements like Magnolia and Starns.

Genealogists will find this area dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial sites. Significant cemeteries are dispersed throughout the timbered terrain, including the Stafford Cem, Causey Cem, and Drumwright Cem. The map provides a clear picture of how modern rural life maintains its connection to established family lands, with many roads such as Henry Ballard Rd and John Barber Rd named for the families who have long inhabited this stretch of the Florida Parishes.
