2024 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson anchors the landscape where the West and East Feliciana Parish boundary follows the winding course of Thompson Creek. This interior region of Louisiana is characterized by an intricate drainage system of bayous and creeks, including White Bayou, Iron Bayou, and Hog Bayou, which carve through the terrain south of the Jackson town center. The town's historical fabric is evident in its street grid, featuring names like College St and Church St, and the presence of the Second Baptist Church. Educational and aviation hubs such as Baton Rouge Community College Jackson, Feliciana Airpark, and Howell Airport indicate the area's modern utility. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Keller Family Cem and Asphodel Cem, are scattered throughout the rural stretches, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research near the settlements of McManus and Ethel.
