1983 Map of Wilmer

About this map

Wilmer and Stoney Point serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this part of Louisiana, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Tchefuncta River and its numerous tributaries. This 1980s landscape reveals a deep-rooted pattern of family-named landmarks and rural congregations, particularly evident in the high density of small burial grounds such as Brumfield Cem, Walker Cem, and Crystal Springs Ch Cem. The parish line between Washington and Tangipahoa Parish cuts through a terrain carved by Chappepeela Creek and the East Fork Big Creek. Notable community centers like Wilmer Ch and New Jerusalem Ch represent the social fabric of these rural townships. The drainage patterns, including the split between North Carson Creek and South Carson Creek, dictate the movement of roads and property boundaries throughout the quadrant.
