2020 Map of Sugartown

About this map

Sugartown and its surrounding rural landscapes in Beauregard Parish are defined by a dense network of watercourses, dominated by the winding path of Whisky Chitto Creek and its many tributaries like Little Sugar Creek and Bear Slough. This region exhibits a traditional settlement pattern where community life centers on family-named roads and rural institutions. The map preserves the locations of several important local landmarks, including the Sugartown Baptist Church and the Sugartown Lookout Tower. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township, from the New Campground Cem to the Smyrna Old Cole Cem. The southern edge of the quadrangle touches Bundick Lake, while the interior is etched with numerous named gullies and prongs, such as Jumping Gully and Short Prong, illustrating the intricate drainage system of this piney woods territory.
