1968 Map of Ponchatoula NE

About this map

The Tangipahoa River carves a winding path through the heart of this Louisiana landscape, defining the character of the riverine lowlands between Ponchatoula and the wetlands to the south. During the late 1960s and into the 1970s, this area maintained a balance of rural settlement and natural marshland. Waterway access was central to local life, anchored by points like Lees Landing and Traino Landing on the southern reaches of the river and Bedico Creek. Numerous family cemeteries, such as Robertson Cem and Edwards Cem, alongside landmarks like Champ Cooper Sch and Wesley Chapel, reveal a deeply rooted community infrastructure. Toward the bottom of the map, the terrain gives way to the expansive marshes of Black Bayou and Rice Bayou, where a network of lakes including Mitchells Lake and Dead Lake dots the cypress-studded basin.
