About this map

The Amite River carves a winding path along the western boundary of this parish landscape, where extraction and agriculture define the local economy. In the late 1970s, extensive Sand And Gravel Pits dotted the terrain near Grangeville, illustrating the area's industrial reliance on river-deposited resources. Further east, the settlement of Pine Grove serves as a local hub, anchored by the Pine Grove Sch and St Joseph Ch.

The map reveals a deep-rooted social fabric through its numerous family and community landmarks, such as Mt Pleasant Ch Cem and Beech Grove Cem. Traces of earlier transport networks are visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the northern timberlands. Numerous watercourses, including Hog Branch and Pigeon Creek, drain the territory, while isolated clearings such as Camp Stallion and various church sites like Salem Ch mark the rural community centers of the era.
