2012 Map of Pine Grove

About this map

The Amite River winds through this section of Saint Helena Parish, defining a landscape of creek bottoms and timberlands in the early 21st century. The settlement of Pine Grove serves as a local hub near the eastern edge, marked by the Pine Grove Lookout Tower, while Grangeville sits to the northwest along the upper reaches of Pigeon Cr. This area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including Claiborne Cem, Mullens Cem, and Sand Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The road network is a mix of parish routes like Parish Road 77 and established lanes such as Lep Lee Rd, reflecting a rural economy shaped by both agriculture and the legacy of the regional timber industry. The presence of the Overton Private Airport and the youth camp Camp Stallion further illustrate the contemporary land use of this river-fed corridor.
