2012 Map of Wilmer

About this map

The Tchefuncte River winds southward through this portion of Tangipahoa Parish, defining a landscape marked by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural roads. Settlements like Wilmer and Stoney Point serve as focal points in a territory where the local geography is closely tied to lineage, as evidenced by the high concentration of burial sites such as Brumfield Cem, Sylvest Cem, and Pasman Cem. Numerous small watercourses, including Chappapeela Cr and Hamilton Cr, drain the region's low-lying areas, while features like Brushy Hollow offer variation in the local topography. This early 21st-century documentation illustrates a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to more modern road configurations, yet the placement of features like Casper Lea Cem and Dyson Cem maintains a direct link to the area's genealogical roots and settlement history.
