2015 Map of Martinville

About this map

The Tchefuncte River and its numerous tributaries, such as Soap and Tallow Br and Calvpen Br, define the landscape of St. Tammany Parish on the outskirts of Covington. This 2015 survey reveals a blend of rural settlement and residential growth, centered around the village of Martinville and the southern edge of Folsom. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Cem, Fendlason Cem, and Willie Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana. Transportation and commerce are reflected in the presence of the Covington-Vincent Airport to the south and a network of winding parish roads. Significant water features like Lake Ramsay and Spell Pond highlight the low-lying, well-watered geography between the Tchefuncte and the Bogue Falaya river systems.
