2024 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Ponchatoula and the southern edge of Hammond anchor this modern survey of Tangipahoa Parish, where the Piney Woods transition into the Louisiana wetlands. The landscape is defined by the legacy of the Illinois Central railroad corridor, visible today in the alignment of S Railroad Ave and SW Railroad Ave. To the west, the settlement of Wadesboro sits near the winding course of Ponchatoula Creek, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle dissolve into the Four Mile Marsh. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Ponchatoula Cem and Charbonnet Cem, which remain as quiet landmarks amid the growing suburban infrastructure and interstate frontage roads like I-55 Svc Rd. The presence of the Anderson Canal reflects the long-standing efforts to manage the water levels of this low-lying region.
