About this map

Loranger and Independence anchor this 1940s landscape in Tangipahoa Parish, where the Illinois Central railroad corridor parallels the meandering path of the Tangipahoa River. The area is marked by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, including Union Ch, Oak Grove Ch, and the Shiloh Sch, reflecting the established community structure of the era. Water dominates the western half of the sheet, defined by the river’s numerous bends and features like Dead Lake. Dozens of smaller waterways like Chappepeela Creek and Sweetwater Creek drain the surrounding timber and farm country, which is tied together by an early state highway system including State Highway No 35 and State Highway No 40.
