2018 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

The Tangipahoa River carves through the landscape of northern Tangipahoa Parish, shaping a region defined by its numerous small creek drainages and scattered rural settlements. The western edge of the map features the established community of Kentwood, while smaller locales such as Greenlaw, Lewiston, and the distinctly named Chubby Bottom are connected by a network of winding roads like N River Rd and Greenlaw Rd. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial sites, including the German Cem near the northern boundary and the Mixon Cem to the south. The terrain is a complex web of seasonal watercourses like Chubby Cr and Ashleys Br, illustrating the historical importance of local hydrology to the development of these small Louisiana communities.
