About this map

Slidell and the West Pearl River dominate this complex borderland landscape where suburban development meets the intricate bayous and sloughs of the Louisiana-Mississippi line. The expansion of residential neighborhoods like Magnolia Forest, Oak Grove Estates, and Frenchmens Estates contrasts with the dense network of waterways to the east, including Cradock Slough and English Bayou. These channels weave around large landforms such as Maddens Island and Whisky Island, marking a transition from the urban grid to the river delta's natural rhythms.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous river landings and family-related landmarks, such as Porters River Landing and Davis Landing. The presence of several small burial grounds, including Porters Cem and Rousseaux Cem, alongside named communities like The Settlement and Napoleon, provides a precise record of local heritage. The map also delineates the state boundary dividing ST Tammany Parish from Hancock Co, highlighting the shared geography of Gainesville and Logtown along the eastern marshes.
