2020 Map of Watson

About this map

The Amite River meanders along the boundary between East Baton Rouge Parish and Livingston Parish, anchoring a landscape where established communities like Central and Watson have grown around historic river crossings. This modern survey documents the suburban and rural character of the region, where older landmarks such as Magnolia Bridge and the Country Bend Airport sit alongside a high concentration of local burial grounds. Genealogists will find significant detail in the mapping of both the Amite Baptist Church Cem Old and its newer counterpart, Amite Baptist Church Cem New, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the area. The map also traces the drainage patterns of Sandy Creek and Spillers Cr as they feed into the Amite, illustrating the hydrological network that influenced the early settlement of places like Greenwell Springs and Magnolia.
