About this map

Grangeville and Pine Grove anchor this region of Saint Helena Parish, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding course of the Amite River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is marked by a network of rural roads often named for local families, including St Joseph Rd, Leroy Nesom Rd, and Amos Seals Ln. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides exact locations for several family burial grounds, such as Thomas Cem, Claiborne Cem, and Mullens Cem.

The distribution of these cemeteries and small settlements like Oldfield suggests a long-established pattern of rural residency along the waterways. To the northwest, the map documents Bluff Creek as it flows toward the Amite, while in the east, drainage is managed by Curtis Cr and W Hog Br. The presence of the Overton Private Airport adds a modern logistical layer to this traditionally agrarian and wooded area of Louisiana.
