About this map

The Tangipahoa River carves through the western edge of this parish landscape, flanked by a complex network of extractive industry and rural community life. Extensive Gravel Pits dominate the riverbanks near Amite, revealing the area's geological utility during the mid-1970s. Further east, the settlement of Loranger serves as a hub for the surrounding countryside, which is densely dotted with family and church cemeteries such as Donaldson Cem, Shiloh Ch Cem, and Briar Patch Cem. The presence of several smaller congregations, including Shady Grove Ch and Hayden Grove Ch, suggests a landscape defined by localized neighborhood centers. Transportation is anchored by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and a major Pipeline corridor, while Camp Whispering Pines represents the recreational use of the wooded terrain between Big Creek and Little Chappepeela Creek.
