1968 Map of Ponchatoula NE

About this map

Lees Landing sits near the confluence of the Tangipahoa River and Rice Bayou, serving as a focal point for this wetland-heavy landscape in Tangipahoa Parish. The 1968 topography reveals a social fabric built around small country churches and family burial grounds, including Wesley Chapel, Good Hope Ch, and Sand Hill Cem. To the east, the Bedico Creek and East Bedico Creek systems define the drainage patterns, while the Champ Cooper Sch provides a glimpse into the local educational infrastructure of the mid-20th century. The intricate network of small waterways like P-Kaw Shun Creek and Mile Branch shows how the terrain dictated rural settlement, with small family holdings and cemeteries like Collins Cem and Edwards Cem positioned on the higher ground between bayous and sloughs.
