About this map

West Fork Thompson Creek and its many tributaries, including Vaughn Cr, Dry Cr, and Sand Br, carve a dense drainage pattern through this corner of West Feliciana Parish. The landscape is dotted with small rural settlements like Spillman, Alice, and the community of Laurel Hill, which sits along the primary north-south corridor of US Highway 61. In the northwest, the residential development surrounding Lake Rosemound provides a contrast to the otherwise agricultural and wooded terrain.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its density of family-named burial sites. Numerous small plots, including McCausland Cem, Richardson Cem, Minor Cem, and Walker Cem, are distributed across the hillsides and near crossroads. To the south, the village of Wakefield serves as a local hub, marking the intersection of the highway and several rural routes such as Wakefield Dr S and Wakefield Dr N.
