Thank you for your reply, I would love to find something that show the
cemeteries, especially in Raleigh Parish.

Margie,
There is a software program out called Deedmapper that is designed to
map a property using metes and bounds. They have a website - Deedmapper.
Also go onto the website for the US Geological Survey and look at the
historic topographic maps for Amelia County. The earlier maps sometimes
had cemeteries on them. They had a map from 1943 and one from 1966 -
the most recent was 1994. The maps are available to purchase in PDF
format.
