2012 Map of Haaswood

About this map

The Pearl River basin dominates this 2012 landscape, where the intricate hydrology of the Louisiana-Mississippi border creates a complex network of waterways like English Bayou, W Pearl River, and Cradock Slough. The residential expansion of Slidell is evident in the west, with numerous named subdivisions such as Magnolia Forest, Cross Gates, and Abney Country Air filling the space between Gum Bayou and the main river corridor. Genealogical interest is high in this quadrangle, as several burial sites including Rousseaux Cem and Harrison Cem are documented alongside old riverine points like Porters River Landing and Davis Landing. The eastern portion of the map is defined by the Pearl River State Wildlife Management Area and the edge of the John Stennis Space Center, illustrating the tension between protected wetlands, federal installations, and the growing suburban footprint of St. Tammany Parish.
