About this map

The Tchefuncte River and its numerous tributaries, including Savannah Branch and Horse Branch, dominate the hydrology of this St. Tammany Parish landscape. Settlement centers around Folsom in the north, while the southern portion features the expansive Lake Ramsay Savannah Wildlife Management Area surrounding Lake Ramsay. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Johns Cem, Fendlason Cem, Willie Cem, and Bruhl Cem. The road network is heavily influenced by historical property lines and local family names, with routes like Willie Cemetary Rd and Tantela Ranch Rd providing access to rural homesteads and agricultural tracts. In the southeast, the Covington-Vincent Airport serves as a modern transportation hub, contrasting with the dense network of creeks and branches like Soap and Tallow Branch and Simalusa Creek that drain the timbered and low-lying terrain.
