1998 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington sits at the confluence of the Bogue Falaya River and the Tchefuncta River, anchoring a region defined by its dense network of waterways and early 20th-century institutions. The area is marked by a legacy of education and faith, seen in the presence of St Pauls College and St Scholastica Sch, alongside numerous community landmarks like Rose Hill Ch and the Little Zion Ch. The map captures a moment when the suburban growth of Mandeville and Abita Springs began to coalesce, yet large tracts like the Tulane University Research Center and the Abita Lookout Tower preserve the rural character of St. Tammany Parish. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family and community burial sites, including the Lyons Sch Wilson Cem and Byers Cem, which trace the settlement history near Claiborne Hill.
