About this map

The monastic grounds of Saint Joseph Abbey and the associated settlement of Saint Benedict anchor the southwestern portion of this St. Tammany Parish landscape. This area north of Covington is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the main stem of the Bogue Falaya and its numerous tributaries such as Little Bogue Falaya and Simalusa Cr. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural burial sites, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana.

Features like Fivemile Still Cem suggest the region's historical ties to the pine timber and turpentine industry. Modern residential expansion is evident through named developments like the Garden District Cem and clusters of roads near Waldheim and Blond. The terrain is relatively flat, drained by creeks like Pigeon Roost Cr and Bills Cr, while the road network follows many of the early family land boundaries, including Loyd Rd and King Rd.
