About this map

Amite River drainage patterns define the landscape where East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge parishes meet. The area is characterized by a dense network of waterways including Beaver Pond Bayou, Sandy Cr, and Cotton Cr, which thread through the small settlements of Pride, Baywood, and Weiss. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, noting family and community landmarks such as Mahoney Cem, South Union Cem, and Drehr Cem across the rural townships.

Industry and transport are reflected in the road network connecting historically agricultural communities, with Greenwell Springs Rd and Lee Price Rd serving as primary corridors. The transition between the parishes is marked by clear township and range lines, such as t3s r2e and t4s r3e, providing a precise spatial framework for researchers tracking 20th-century land use and family holdings along the lower reaches of the Spillers Cr and Whitten Cr.
