About this map

Osyka and Chatawa anchor this rural landscape along the Mississippi-Louisiana border, where the Tangipahoa River and Bala Chitto Cr drain the timbered and agricultural lands of Pike County. The region is characterized by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, reflecting deep genealogical roots in the area. Notable sites include Saint Mary Cem and Mount Calvary Cem near the river, as well as the Hinson-Knippers Cem further east.

The presence of numerous local roads such as Chatawa Bluff Rd and Gladhurst Rd indicates a long-standing pattern of rural settlement. Researchers can trace the path of the Little Tangipahoa River and smaller tributaries like Forest Br as they weave between small homesteads and historic properties. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of local transportation routes, including Amite St in Osyka, and the natural watercourses that have shaped the county's development.
