2018 Map of Ponchatoula

About this map

The growing urban corridors of Hammond and Ponchatoula dominate this 2018 survey, reflecting the modern residential and commercial density of Tangipahoa Parish. While the northern half of the quadrangle is defined by a tight grid of streets like W Coleman Ave and S Magnolia St, the southern portion transitions abruptly into the cypress-laden lowlands of the Four Mile Marsh. This sharp contrast highlights the geographic limit of the region's habitable land. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable sites, including Wetmore Cem and Arnold Cem, while the course of the Ponchatoula Creek and the Yellow Water River define the local drainage. Smaller pockets of settlement like Oliver and Wadesboro sit alongside major transit arteries, showing the evolution of the area from a rail-and-timber center into a contemporary suburban hub.
