About this map

Norwood and Wilson anchor the high ground in this Louisiana-Mississippi border region, where the terrain is carved by the Comite River and its intricate drainage network. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and parish roads, reflecting a long-established pattern of rural settlement along the western edge of East Feliciana Parish. From the Hickman Bottom wetlands to the upland clearings of Mc Cutcheon Field, the map illustrates a transition between creek-bottom forests and agricultural or residential plots.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Thompson Creek and Little Comite Cr creating deep natural divisions across the landscape. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family and community landmarks like Pemble Cem, Springhill Cem, and Pipes Cem. These features, along with the proximity of the Wilkinson and Amite county lines to the north, provide a clear record of the social and physical infrastructure in this corner of the Deep South during the late 2010s.
