2024 Map of Lacombe

About this map

The coastal marshlands and residential pockets of St. Tammany Parish are documented here, where the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge dominates the landscape leading to Lake Pontchartrain. The settlement of Lacombe serves as a central hub, surrounded by numerous family and community burial grounds including Lafontaine Cem, Toomer Cem, and Louis Cousin Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with Lacombe Bayou and Cane Bayou cutting through the wetlands toward Goose Point. These waterways and the surrounding marshes create a distinct pattern of development, with neighborhoods like Oaklawn and Big Branch situated on slightly higher ground or along established corridors like Fish Hatchery Rd. The map illustrates the contemporary balance between conservation lands and local community expansion.
