About this map

Ringgold serves as the primary hub in this portion of Bienville Parish, where the local road network converges around School St and Mill St. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Grand Bayou, which flows southward past the small settlements of Tullis and Woodardville. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain heavily influenced by its drainage systems, including Tennyson Cr to the north and Wimberly Br to the south.

For genealogists, the map is a significant resource, documenting numerous family-named burial sites scattered across the countryside. These include Shehee Cem, Tooke Cem, and Mosley Cem. The concentration of these cemeteries, alongside landmarks like Rocky Mount Cem and Wimberly Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of rural settlement and family landholdings that predates the modern road system, which now includes routes like Pietsch Rd and Bienville Rd.
