1963 Map of Killian

About this map

The confluence of the Tickfaw River and Amite River at the northern edge of Lake Maurepas defines this coastal Louisiana landscape. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground and winding waterways, notably at Killian and Clio. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural nature of Livingston Parish before significant modern development, where family names and local congregations serve as the primary landmarks. Small rural churches like Bethlehem Ch and Huff Chapel anchor the community, while the drainage of the surrounding wetlands is managed through a network of artificial channels including the Cutoff Canal and Lake Shore Canal.
