1968 Map of Ponchatoula SE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Jones Island anchors this coastal wetland survey, situated at the critical junction where the Tangipahoa River and Pass Manchac meet the vast waters of Lake Pontchartrain. The landscape is a intricate network of natural waterways and early drainage efforts, featuring named reaches like Middle Bayou, Stinking Bayou, and Jim Reed B. The presence of Indian Mounds on the eastern edge of the island provides a clear link to the area's ancient inhabitants, while more modern developments are evidenced by several artificial waterways, including the Mire Canal and Fuller Canal. This 1968 topography reflects the low-lying marsh environment of the parish border, showing a unique Flowing Well and several navigation lights marking the transition from protected bayous to the open lake.
