2018 Map of Pine

About this map

The community of Hackley and the surrounding piney woods of Washington Parish are defined by an intricate network of creeks and numerous family cemeteries. The landscape is drained by Hays Cr, Indian Cr, and the branches of Lawrence Cr, with small settlements like Thomas and Pine situated along the high ground between these drainages. This area is characterized by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds including Payne Cem, Schilling Cem, and Knight Cem. The map reveals a rural economy based on a grid of parish roads, such as Parish Rd 257 and Old Columbia Rd, which navigate the undulating terrain of the Florida Parishes. The survey provides a clear view of the land divisions and rural homestead patterns that have persisted in this corner of Louisiana into the 21st century.
