About this map

State Line sits along the northern edge of Washington Parish, where the geography is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including Pushepatapa Cr, Crains Cr, and the Bogue Lusa Cr. The landscape is a quiet mosaic of timberland and small family holdings, reflected in the high concentration of private and community burial grounds such as Briarwood Cem, Muster Ground Cem, and Singley Cem.

Evidence of early infrastructure and local travel is found at Childs Bridge and along winding rural routes like Old Pierce Cemetery Rd. The map illustrates a region where local identity is tied to family names and the specific hydrology of the Pearl River basin tributaries. Small landmarks like Rogers Pond and State Line Bridge help orient researchers to the late 20th-century character of this Louisiana-Mississippi borderland, where the traditional rural settlement pattern remains largely intact.
