1959 Map of Amite
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Tickfaw River and Natalbany River systems define this mid-century landscape across the borders of Livingston, St. Helena, and Tangipahoa Parishes. At the northern end of the quadrangle, the parish seat of Amite (Amite City) serves as a primary hub alongside the Illinois Central railroad, which also connects the community of Independence. The southern portion of the map is dominated by a transition into lower-lying terrain, where Bills Bayou and Hog Branch weave through timbered areas. This map reveals a high density of rural institutions, such as Macedonia Ch and New Shiloh Ch, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Sharkey Cem and Hutchinson Cem. These markers, along with schools like Fifth Ward Sch, provide a detailed record of the social geography before later 20th-century development shifted the region's character.
