About this map

Amite serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing its development as a parish center during a period of steady transition. The town's grid is dense with civic landmarks, including the Courthouse, Post Office, and City Hall, all situated near the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line. The surrounding landscape of Tangipahoa Parish and St. Helena Parish is characterized by numerous country churches and family burial grounds, such as Mother of Perpetual Help Ch and Sharkey Cem. The Natalbany River and Little River wind through the timber and agricultural lands, defining the drainage patterns of the region. Local education and community life are marked by sites like Oak Forest Academy and the Fifth Ward Sch, while the presence of several Gravel Pits points to the area's extractive industry alongside its rural settlements like Gullett and Hillsdale.
