2015 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

Pine Ridge and the nearby settlement of Anna anchor this landscape along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and bayous, including Quitman Bayou, Dies Slough, and Pine Mount Bayou, which drain the lowlands between the river and the uplands to the east. Several family and local cemeteries, such as Painters Cem, Shields Cem, Adams Cem, and Drake-Magruder Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital markers for genealogical research in this rural pocket of Adams and Jefferson Counties. Large river features like Mercer Island and Fairchilds Island Number 114 illustrate the shifting nature of the river boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana. The local road network, including Annas Bottom Rd and Church Hill Rd, provides a trace of historical access routes through the dense system of creeks like Fairchilds Cr and Blueskin Cr.
