1984 Map of Rogillioville

About this map

Thompson Creek defines the sinuous boundary between West Feliciana and East Feliciana Parishes on this mid-1980s survey of the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Cypress Creek, Sallie Branch, and the swampy lowlands of Hickman Bottom. While much of the terrain is dominated by these wooded waterways, the eastern edge of the map shows the transition toward rural centers. The community of Wilson is situated near the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line, a critical transport corridor for the region's timber and agricultural output. To the west, the smaller settlement of Rogillioville serves as a local landmark. The presence of several unmarked Cem sites across the rolling hills suggests small family burials or older community churchyards that have served the parish residents for generations.
