About this map

Covington serves as the regional hub in this 1930s survey, where the Bogue Falaya River and Abita River converge. The landscape is defined by the winding waterways that flow toward Lake Pontchartrain, supporting a network of waterfront settlements including Mandeville, Lewisburg, and Madisonville. A significant maritime landmark, the Chefuncte LH, stands at the mouth of the Chefuncte River, marking the transition from river navigation to open water.

Transportation corridors like the Illinois Central RR and the Gulf Mobile and Northern RR intersect the region, connecting smaller communities such as Goodbee and Abita Springs. Social and educational landmarks, such as the Rosenwald Sch and Bedico Ch, indicate the established rural communities outside the larger towns. This era shows the Northshore before modern expansion, with clearly defined bayous like Ponchitolawa Bayou and Bayou Castine carving through the low-lying terrain.
