2020 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington and the surrounding piney woods of St. Tammany Parish are defined by the convergence of the Tchefuncte River and the Bogue Falaya. By 2020, the suburban growth of Mandeville and Abita Springs had significantly altered the landscape, yet the map preserves the location of numerous family and church burial grounds that speak to the area's older rural character. Key local sites include Claiborne Hill, the Saint Tammany Parish Justice Center, and the sprawling grounds of the Tulane National Primate Research Center. The map tracks several watercourses feeding the Ponchartrain basin, such as Ronchitolawa Creek, Abita River, and Bayou Chinchuba. This detailed survey offers researchers a look at how contemporary development has integrated with historic settlements like Chinchuba and established landmarks such as Oak Island.
