About this map

Thompson Creek meanders along the boundary of West and East Feliciana Parishes, defining the drainage patterns for this section of the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands. The landscape is marked by a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Pisgah Cem and McQueen Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in the vicinity of Rogillioville and Norwood. The terrain is characterized by intricate creek systems, including the West Fork Thompson Creek and Hurricane Cr, which have historically dictated road placement and settlement patterns. Notable landmarks like Sydal Acres Airport and Hickman Bottom reflect the local economy and land use, while named routes such as Trinity Church Ln and Whitstown Rd provide clues to early community hubs. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where family names are often preserved in the landscape through features like the Sandel Cem and Singletar Cem.
