2012 Map of Roseland

About this map

The Tangipahoa River defines the eastern boundary of this corridor, where the legacy of early 20th-century logging and rail transport has evolved into a landscape of quiet communities. The map highlights a series of settlements including Tangipahoa, Fluker, Arcola, and Roseland, each connected by a primary north-south transportation artery. This area of Tangipahoa Parish is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, such as Tangipahoa Cem, Kedron Cem, and Phillips Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research. The drainage patterns of the Natalbany Cr and its various branches, like S Fork Jenny Br and W Natalbany Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology that influenced original land parcels and the placement of roads like Bethel Rd and Parish Road 24. Scattered small water bodies such as Robinson Pond and Mud Cr further detail the rural character of this Louisiana landscape.
