About this map

Denham Springs serves as the focal point of this 1963 landscape, showing a period of transition as the town expands south of the Illinois Central tracks. The map captures the interface between the urbanizing center and the surrounding rural parish, where education and faith remain anchored by landmarks like Northside Sch, Southside Sch, and the Eden Ch.

The Amite River and its complex network of tributaries, including Grays Creek and Clay Cut Bayou, define the parish line between Livingston Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish. Rural life is evident in the presence of an Indian Mound near Stevensdale and scattered infrastructure such as the 7th Ward Sch and Camp Garrison. Evidence of subsurface exploration appears south of the town center, marked by an Oil Well and multiple Drill Hole locations near the Felder Bayou drainage.
