About this map

The Tchefuncte River meanders southward along the boundary of Washington and Tangipahoa Parishes, anchoring a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family estates. The community of Wilmer is positioned in the western reaches, while Stoney Point sits further east, connected by a network of local roads such as Highway 440 and Cecil Painter Rd. The area is notably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Brumfield, McDaniel, and Graham cemeteries, reflecting generations of local land ownership.

Waterways like Chappepeela Creek and Hamilton Creek cut through the terrain, leading toward significant landmarks like Brushy Hollow. The surveyor's detail captures a moment in the mid-2010s where traditional agrarian boundaries meet modern infrastructure, preserving the locations of numerous historic sites such as Bickham Cem and Sylvest Cem that are essential for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana.
