2024 Map of Laurel Hill

About this map

West Fork Thompson Creek and its many tributaries, including Sand Branch and Dry Creek, carve through the rolling terrain of West Feliciana Parish in this recent survey. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical roots, visible in the high density of family and community burial grounds such as McCausland Cem, Richardson Cem, and Walker Cem. Settlements like Laurel Hill, Spillman, and Alice are situated along a network of parish roads and routes like Spillman Rd and Harris Corner Rd. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern where life centers around historic congregations and family landmarks, evidenced by the Beech Grove Baptist Church Cem near the northern boundary. Modern infrastructure, including Fire Tower Rd, provides a framework for managing the wooded creek valleys that dominate the local topography.
