About this map

Mandeville and Lewisburg anchor the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, showing a period of significant growth and conservation on the St. Tammany Parish coast. The map illustrates the town's educational infrastructure through Mandeville School, the High School, and the Rosenwald School, alongside religious landmarks such as Our Lady of the Lake School.

To the east, the expansive Fontainebleau State Park and State Game Preserve dominate the landscape, protecting the marshy reaches of Bayou Castine and Cane Bayou as they drain into the lake. The massive Lake Pontchartrain Causeway stretches south from the Tollgate, marking the critical transportation link to the southern shore. This survey reflects the mid-century development of the region, where residential expansion met the preserved wetlands of the Louisiana coast.
