1950 Map of Kentwood
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Kentwood serves as the primary hub of this 1940s landscape, situated along the Illinois Central Railroad and State Highway No 51. The surrounding rural parish lands at the Louisiana-Mississippi border are heavily defined by a grid of family homesteads and local heritage sites. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Camp Moore Confederate Cem near the town of Tangipahoa, as well as numerous family plots like Strickland Cem, Barnes Cem, and Varnado Cem. The topography is shaped by the Amite River and its many tributaries, such as Terrys Creek and Beaver Creek, which influenced early road placements and settlement patterns. Local spiritual life is anchored by small country churches including Pine Grove Ch and Browns Chapel, which remain vital landmarks in this post-war survey of the region.
