1983 Map of Bush

About this map

The Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts a straight line through the piney woods of St. Tammany Parish, connecting the small settlements of Bush and Talisheek during the early 1980s. This landscape is defined by its intricate drainage networks, where Bogue Chitto sits at the northeastern corner and Talisheek Creek winds southward through the expansive Talisheek Swamp. The map reveals a deeply personal history of the area through numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Lavinghouse Cem, Cowart Cem, and Grantham Cem. Civil infrastructure like the Waldheim Lookout Tower and the Fifth Ward Jr High Sch provide anchors for the rural community, while the presence of the Hillcrest Golf Course and various campgrounds suggests the transition of the land from purely timber and rail interests toward recreation and modern development.
