About this map

Satsuma and the surrounding piney woods of Livingston Parish are defined by a complex network of waterways, including Middle Colyell Creek, Hornsby Creek, and Hog Branch. The landscape is dotted with several family-named landmarks and rural congregations that reveal the social fabric of the era. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous burial grounds such as Salem Cem, Lanier Cem, and the S Stafford Cem located near the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Grade.

The presence of the Livingston Lookout Tower in the eastern section of the map highlights the importance of timber management in the region, while churches like Friendship Ch, Carroll Ch, and Holiness Tabernacle anchor the small, scattered communities. The western edge of the quadrangle touches the Walker Corporate Boundary, marking the transition from rural parish lands to growing municipal limits.
