About this map

The Bogue Chitto National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape along the border of St Tammany Parish and Mississippi, where the intricate hydrology of the Bogue Chitto River and Pearl River creates a complex system of sloughs, brakes, and islands. The map documents the region's rural character through several small community centers, including Industrial and Talisheek, the latter positioned along the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad.

Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, such as Copper Cem, Keller Cem, and Thomas Cem. The presence of Pine Grove Ch and the Pine Grove School further illustrates the social anchors of these settlements. Local economic activity is noted through a Gravel Pit and proximity to Lock No 2, while recreational points like the Walkiah Bluff Water Park show the river's role in local life during the early 1980s.
