About this map

Tchefuncte River winds along the boundary between Tangipahoa and Washington Parishes, defining the drainage patterns of this rural Louisiana landscape. The area is characterized by a network of creek branches and hollows, such as Brumfield Hollow and Brushy Hollow, which feed into larger arteries like Chappapeela Cr and Taylor Cr. Small settlements including Wilmer and Stoney Point serve as focal points for a community connected by a dense grid of parish and family-named roads.

Family heritage is deeply etched into the land, evidenced by the high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Genealogists can locate sites like Bickham Cem, McDaniel Cem, and Sylvest Cem, which are often situated near namesake homesteads or along quiet rural routes like Will Houlton Rd and Fannie Powell Rd. The presence of numerous crossings, such as those over Davis Br and Reedy Br, reflects the localized, creek-bottom geography of the early 21st century.
