2024 Map of Sugartown

About this map

Sugartown remains a central settlement in this portion of Beauregard Parish, situated amidst a landscape defined by the meandering course of Whisky Chitto Creek and its many tributaries. For those researching family history in this area, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including the Sugartown Baptist Church Cem, Smyrna Old Cole Cem, and the Hoy Cem. The geography is characterized by intricate drainage systems such as Bear Slough and Deep Slough, which feed into larger bodies like Sugar Creek and the southern Bundick Lake. This recent survey reveals a rural infrastructure of family-named roads, including Wade Cooley Rd and Elzie Welch Rd, reflecting the long-standing community ties to the land. The distribution of these roads and small cemeteries suggests a settlement pattern that follows the high ground between the creek bottoms and the sloughs.
