2024 Map of Loranger

About this map

The Tangipahoa River and its intricate network of tributaries define the landscape of this portion of Tangipahoa Parish, where small farming settlements and family cemeteries are scattered across the low-lying terrain. The community of Loranger serves as a local hub, anchored by the Loranger Cem and surrounding rural roads like Sweetwater Rd. To the west, the village of Velma sits near the riverbanks. For those researching local lineages, the map is densely populated with small burial grounds, including the Bennett Family Cem, Casanova Cem, and Donaldson Cem. The drainage pattern is complex, with numerous named waterways such as Little Chappepeela Creek, Mixon Branch, and Scott Creek winding through the woods and fields. A small airstrip, Le-Blanc Field, provides a modern landmark among these long-established homesteads and country churches like the Hayden Grove Church of Christ Cem.
