1980 Map of Kentwood
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
St Helena Parish and Tangipahoa Parish meet along this 1980 survey, which captures the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands during a period of steady rural development. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as the primary north-south spine, anchoring the towns of Kentwood and Tangipahoa. This corridor reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region, where family legacies are marked by an exceptional density of private burial grounds. Genealogists can trace local lineages through sites such as the Bond Cem, Varnado Cem, and Amacker Cem. Near the southern edge of Kentwood, the Camp Moore Confederate Cem stands as a significant landmark of state history. Away from the rail line, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Terrys Creek and Beaver Creek, with several Gravel Pits indicating the local extractive industry of the era.
