1959 Map of Amite
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Illinois Central corridor forms the backbone of this south Louisiana landscape, connecting timber and agricultural outposts like Amite City, Independence, and Holden. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including the Tickfaw River and Natalbany River, which historically dictated the placement of small rural communities. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and local institutions such as Morgan Chapel, Baygall Ch, and the Leonard Chapel Cemeteries. Educational centers like the Fifth Ward School and Fourth Ward School highlight the organized rural life of the era. To the south, specialized industries appear near Baptist and Albany, where several Gravel Pits and Sand Pits are noted alongside the rail lines.
