The Tangipahoa River and Little Tangipahoa River drain this rural landscape along the Mississippi and Louisiana border, where small settlements like Chatawa and Osyka anchor the local community. The area is exceptionally rich in genealogical landmarks, documented by dozens of family-named burial grounds including Hinson-Knippers Cem, Phelps Cem, and Felder Cem. Near Chatawa, the Saint Mary of the Pines Cem and Mount Calvary Cem stand as significant local landmarks. The eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of Bala Chitto Cr and McNab Cr, with the settlement of Gladhurst situated near the county line. The dense network of local roads, such as Magnolia Progress Rd and Centerville Rd, connects these dispersed homesteads and traditional family plots across the rolling terrain of Pike County.
