2018 Map of Amite

About this map

Amite and Independence serve as the primary anchors for this region of Tangipahoa Parish, where the local landscape is defined by the parallel courses of the Natalbany River and Little Natalbany River. Small settlements such as Gullett, Shiloh, and Hillsdale appear alongside a significant collection of family and community burial grounds, including Sharkey Cem, McMichael Cem, and Baham Cem. The mapping shows a distinct transition where the northern grid of Amite gives way to the more dispersed rural reaches near Georgeville and the parish lines with St. Helena and Livingston. Waterways like Ponchatoula Cr and Morgan Br drain the timbered and agricultural lands between these established towns, reflecting the traditional drainage patterns that have guided settlement in this part of Louisiana for generations.
