About this map

The community of Hackley anchors the northwestern corner of this Washington Parish landscape, situated among a dense network of local roads that reflect a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern. The area is characterized by an extensive system of creeks and branches, including Hays Cr, Lawrence Cr, and the winding Witche Cr. These waterways defined the early boundaries of property and movement through the parish.

Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its high density of family burial grounds and places of worship, such as Silverwood Chapel. From the Nobles Cemetery near the center to Knight Cem and Schilling Cem in the south, these sites indicate long-standing family ties to the land near Thomas and Pine. The road names themselves, such as Sam Thomas Rd and Otis Bickham Rd, serve as a durable record of the families who established the homesteads and farms of this region.
