2012 Map of Mittie

About this map

Simmons Settlement and the surrounding piney woods of Allen Parish are defined by the winding course of Whisky Chitto Cr and its many tributaries. In the early 2010s, this landscape maintained a quiet, rural character punctuated by small communities like Mittie and Cherry Grove. The area's geography is intricately carved by water, with Flat Cr, Tenmile Cr, and Bundick Cr creating a network of drainage across the low-lying terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the Simmons Cem serves as a vital anchor for the families who settled this portion of the Louisiana interior. Industry also leaves its mark here via the North Mittie Gas Field and the Harmony Canal, illustrating how the local economy has historically integrated natural resource extraction with the management of the region's abundant water resources.
