About this map

The Tchefuncte River winds through the heart of this coastal St. Tammany Parish landscape, marking the transition from the piney woods of Goodbee and Covington toward the expansive waters of Lake Pontchartrain. Along its banks, the established maritime and residential patterns of Madisonville and Houltonville are clearly defined, including the strategic Madisonville Bridge. This area is characterized by its complex network of waterways, including Bayou De Zaire and Soap and Tallow Branch, which have historically shaped the local economy and development patterns.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the density of family and community landmarks, such as Daussin Cemetery, Galatas Cemetery, and the notable Helping Hands Cemetery. The map also details aviation history with Hickham Field and illustrates the marshy terrain surrounding Miltons Island. The boundary between Tangipahoa Parish and St. Tammany Parish runs along the western edge, providing a precise look at these jurisdictions in the late 2010s.
