2018 Map of Haaswood

About this map

The West Pearl River and its intricate network of bayous and sloughs dominate this 2018 survey of the borderlands between Louisiana and Mississippi. The landscape is characterized by a massive wetland system, including the Fritchie Marsh and numerous named islands like Porters Island, Whisky Island, and Macks Island. In the southwestern corner, the city of Slidell shows significant suburban expansion, with dense residential street grids reaching toward the marsh edges. Along the eastern bank of the river in Mississippi, historical sites like Logtown and Gainesville reflect the area's river-dependent history. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies several small, scattered burial grounds including Napoleon Cem, Gauss Cem, and Rousseaux Cem, providing precise locations for family history research in both St. Tammany Parish and Hancock County.
