About this map

Walker and the neighboring settlements of Satsuma and Livingston anchor this 2015 study of Livingston Parish, where the suburban expansion of the Baton Rouge corridor meets the intricate creek systems of the Louisiana piney woods. The landscape is defined by the South Fork of Colyell Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Middle Colyell Cr, Hornsby Cr, and Little Beaver Dam Cr. These waterways historically dictated the placement of family homesteads and community burial grounds, many of which remain preserved today.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Salem Cem, Judson Cem, and the dual S Stafford Cem and H Stafford Cem plots. The transition from timber and agricultural roots to modern residential development is evident in the dense network of local roads like Weiss RD and Cane Market RD that crisscross the traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System. The map also records localized landmarks such as Friendship and the Satsuma Baptist Cem.
