About this map

The Tchefuncte River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape near Bailey, marking a terrain defined by numerous small waterways such as Little Silver Creek and Wilson Br. This 2015 survey reveals a rural area along the border of Tangipahoa Parish and Washington Parish, where the settlement at Mount Hermon and the nearby Porters Curve serve as local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense distribution of family and community burial sites, including the Mount Hermon Cem, Silver Creek Cem, and McElveen Cem. The map traces the modern road network, including La-1055 and La-1056, which connect smaller locales like Sunny Hill. The density of named cemeteries such as Schilling Cem and Maples Cem provides a clear record of the area's ancestral footprint in the piney woods of southeastern Louisiana.
