2020 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson anchors this topographic study of East Feliciana Parish, where the street grid of the town center contrasts with the winding creek beds and bayous that define the surrounding countryside. This landscape is a complex network of family and community burial grounds, from the Second Baptist Church Cem near the town center to the more remote Asphodel Cem and Green Briar Cem. The transition from West Feliciana Parish is marked by the course of Vaughn Creek and the West Fork Thompson Creek, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle shows the smaller settlements of McManus and Ethel. Transportation patterns are characterized by a mix of parish roads and small airfields like the Feliciana Airpark and Howell Airport, serving a region where agricultural land meets the drainage basins of White Bayou and Iron Bayou.
