2012 Map of Pine

About this map

Hackley, Thomas, and Pine anchor this rural landscape in Washington Parish, where family-named cemeteries and winding creek branches define the local geography. The area is heavily intersected by small watercourses such as Brown Br, Boggy Br, and Thomas Br, which drain toward the larger Lawrence Cr system. For genealogists and local historians, the high density of family burial grounds is particularly significant, including Magee Cem, Schilling Cem, Breland Cem, and Knight Cem. The road network often bears the names of established families, with routes like Purvis Thomas Rd and Othaney Simmons Rd connecting these dispersed rural settlements. This 2012 survey captures the persistent rural character of northeastern Louisiana, showing a landscape still primarily organized around agricultural life and ancestral homesteads.
