About this map

The Tchefuncte River winds through the heart of this landscape, marking a natural divide that eventually becomes the boundary between Tangipahoa Parish and Washington Parish. In this rural corridor, the small community of Wilmer is anchored by Parkers Cem and a network of parish roads such as Jackson Rd and Dummyline Rd. The map reveals a high density of small family burying grounds, indicating a deeply rooted genealogical history in the area around Stoney Point.

Narrow creek valleys like Squirrel Cr and Chappepeela Cr define the drainage patterns, while specialized terrain features such as Brushy Hollow and Brumfield Hollow appear in the northern reaches. Religious life and community gatherings are centered at sites like Friendship Baptist Church, while the presence of numerous cemeteries, including Sylvest Cem and Bickham Cem, offers significant research value for those tracing family lineages through the surrounding piney woods.
