About this map

The Mississippi Louisiana border defines the character of this 1982 survey, where Walthall Co and Washington Parish meet. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Dean Lee State Forest in the southwest and a dense network of watercourses including Pushepatapa Creek and Bogue Lusa Creek. For the genealogist, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Kennedy Cem, Schillings Cem, Pierce Cem, and Adams Cem.

Small rural hubs like Baughman and the community at the State Line Cem are connected by winding secondary roads. Local spiritual and social life is marked by numerous country churches, including Central Ch, Munroe Creek Ch, and Briarwood Ch. This area, just north of Bogalusa, shows the land use of the early 1980s through several dispersed Gravel Pits and the Muster Ground, reflecting a region tied closely to its timber, soil, and creek-side settlements.
