2018 Map of Pride

About this map

The Amite River meanders through this landscape where East Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, St. Helena, and Livingston Parishes converge. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex bayou systems and creek drainages, including Beaver Pond Bayou, Sandy Cr, and Wind Bayou. Small settlements like Pride, Baywood, and Weiss anchor the road network, which is composed of winding parish roads and lanes named for local families. Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, such as South Union Cem, Mahoney Cem, and Drehr Cem, often tucked away near established family routes like Ezra Courtney Ln or McKnight Rd. The presence of the Overton Private Airport near the St. Helena Parish line and several named ridges suggests a rural community that balances traditional agricultural land use with small-scale private aviation.
