About this map

Whiskey Chitto Creek and its many tributaries, including Prairie Cr and Reeves Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Allen Parish landscape. The rural community of Mittie serves as a central point along the local road network, while the Simmons Settlement to the southeast reflects established family-named locales. The area is characterized by a mix of creek bottoms and low-lying wetlands like Bird Pond, with small water bodies such as Jerry Wright Lake and Isaiah Wright Lake dotting the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as Cherry Grove Cem and Simmons Cem. The map reveals a dense network of local routes, including Carter Rd, Cephas Reeves Rd, and N Carpenters Bridge Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural plots. At the southern edge, the Harmony Canal and Bundick Creek further highlight the intricate water management and natural hydrology of the region.
