About this map

Bogue Chitto and the Old River create a complex network of waterways across the southern portion of this landscape, defining the boundary between Washington and St. Tammany Parishes. Near the confluence of these shifting channels, the community of Sun serves as a local hub, surrounded by family-named landmarks such as Mizell Cem, Walker Cem, and Rogers Cem. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern where life follows the drainage of Talleys Cr and Wrights Cr.

To the north, smaller settlements like Isabel, Stein, and Rio are connected by a grid of timber and parish roads, including Tung Oil Grove Rd. The abundance of small family burial grounds, such as Old Magee Cem and Knight Cem, provides a detailed record of the area's genealogical history. Significant landmarks like Lees Creek Church and Hillview Memorial Gardens anchor the northern reaches near Lees Creek.
