2015 Map of Lacombe

About this map

Lacombe and its surrounding wetlands occupy a critical stretch of the northern Lake Pontchartrain shoreline in St. Tammany Parish. This 2015 update documents the intricate network of waterways including Lacombe Bayou, Big Br Bayou, and Cane Bayou, which drain into the lake near Goose Point. The settlement patterns here are deeply rooted in local family history, as evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Toomer Memorial Cem, Seghors Cem, Cousin Cem, and James Todd Cem. These features, along with the community of Oaklawn, illustrate the coastal development and residential expansion into the piney woods and marshes of the Northshore. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Big Branch to the protected wetlands of Bayou Des Mats, reflecting the region's balance between residential growth and environmental preservation.
