1959 Map of Amite
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Tickfaw River and Natalbany River systems define the geography of this part of southeastern Louisiana, where small farming communities and timber towns grew alongside the Illinois Central RR. In the late 1950s, the parish boundaries of St. Helena, Livingston, and Tangipahoa intersect in a landscape dotted with country churches like Mt Calvary Chapel and Macedonia Ch. This era shows a transition in local infrastructure, with numerous small burial grounds such as Leonard Chapel Cems and Hutchinson Cem serving family lineages, while the larger settlements of Amite and Independence serve as regional hubs. The presence of multiple gravel and sand pits near Baptist and Albany suggests the importance of extractive industries to the local economy alongside established rail transport.
