2012 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington and its surrounding Northshore communities are defined by the winding waterways that flow toward Lake Pontchartrain. At the convergence of the Bogue Falaya and the Tchefuncte River, the landscape transitions from the established streets of the parish seat to the suburban reaches of Claiborne Hill and Chinchuba. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including Wilson Cem and Abita Springs Cem, points to the long-standing settlement of this piney woods region. To the east, Abita Springs serves as a distinct hub, where the Abita River and English Br meet. The modern infrastructure of I-12 and Us 190 cuts across the terrain, illustrating the growth of the region into a major residential corridor. Notable landmarks like the Abita Lookout Tower stand near the headwaters of Ponchitolawa Cr, while various municipal facilities reflect the area's ongoing development.
