About this map

The Illinois Central Gulf railroad anchors the southern corridor of this mid-1970s Livingston Parish landscape, connecting the small communities of Livingston and Holden. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Tickfaw River and its numerous tributaries such as Hog Branch and Turkey Creek. This survey provides a meticulous record of rural settlement patterns, marked by a high density of family-named cemeteries and country churches. Genealogists will find significant value in the location of burial sites like Stafford Cem, Causey Cem, and Courtney Cem, which are scattered throughout the wooded drainage basins. The presence of an Old RR Grade north of Magnolia suggests earlier logging or transit routes that had already begun to fade from the landscape by the time of this field check.
