About this map

Bogue Chitto and the Little River dominate the southern landscape of this 2020 survey, where the Louisiana pinelands meet the complex river bottoms of the Washington and St. Tammany parish line. The community of Sun serves as a local hub near the confluence of Holdens Creek and Wrights Creek, while further north, smaller settlements like Isabel, Stein, and Rio are scattered along the rural road network.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and resting places, from Talleys Chapel Cem to Old Magee Cem and Bush Cem. The terrain is defined by its many small waterways, such as Berrys Creek and Sandy Slough, which weave through the townships. This modern topographic record captures the enduring rural character of these piney woods communities, documenting the locations of dozens of cemeteries and local landmarks like Hillview Memorial Gardens and Holdens Island.
