2018 Map of Sun

About this map

The Bogue Chitto river and its complex network of sloughs and cutoffs dominate the southern half of this landscape along the border of Washington and St. Tammany Parishes. In this late 2010s survey, the area around Sun and Isabel reveals a rural territory defined by timbered tracts and family lineages. The map is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Talleys Chapel Cem, Old Magee Cem, and the Hillview Memorial Gardens, providing a clear spatial record for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana. Further north, small communities like Rio, Stein, and Lees Creek are connected by a grid of parish roads. The bottomland environment is characterized by distinctive water features such as Squaw Slough, Holdens Island, and Fish Slu, illustrating the shifting course of the Little River as it interacts with the primary river channel.
