About this map

Hackley and Thomas anchor this rural landscape in Washington Parish, just south of the Louisiana-Mississippi Boundary Line. Compiled from aerial photographs and a 1939 field examination, the map illustrates a landscape of timber and small-scale agriculture defined by the drainage basins of Lawrence Creek and its many tributaries, such as Asas Creek and East Fork Lawrence Creek. The distribution of community life is visible through several small schools and country churches, including Black Jack Sch and Water Valley Ch. Numerous family-named burial grounds like Payne Cem and Magee Cem are scattered across the terrain, indicating established family landholdings. A Gravel Pit near Thomas suggests local industrial activity, while the road network is dominated by routes like State Highway No 262, which connects these interior settlements.
