2020 Map of Kentwood

About this map

The town of Kentwood and the village of Tangipahoa anchor this 2020 landscape in the northern reach of Tangipahoa Parish. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, highlighting the deep genealogical roots of the area through family and community markers such as Westmoreland Cem, Varnado Cem, and Lambert Cem. Near the southern edge, the Camp Moore Confederate Cem stands as a significant commemorative site. The terrain is defined by a network of small waterways, including Beaver Creek, Cool Creek, and the various forks of Jenny Branch. These streams cut through the parish toward the border with St. Helena Parish. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Cool Creek Airport, while the local hydrology is punctuated by features like Brabbhams Pond and Youngs Pond.
