About this map

Illinois Central Railroad tracks cut through the western edge of this territory, passing through Greenlaw Ch as the landscape transitions toward the Tangipahoa River. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Chubby Creek, Jeff McDaniel Creek, and Little Silver Creek, which support a dispersed rural community of family homesteads and farms. Local life in the early 1940s centered around small crossroads such as Lewiston and Spring Creek, anchored by institutions like Midway Sch and Ross Hill Ch. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous family-named burial grounds dotting the parish, including German Cem, Brumfield Cem, and Boutte Cem. The map also clearly delineates the Louisiana - Mississippi Boundary Line, showing how the political border interacts with the local drainage patterns near Tate.
