1935 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Ponchatoula and Hammond serve as the primary northern hubs on this 1930s survey, marking a transition from developed upland to the expansive marshlands surrounding Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. The Illinois Central railroad cuts a straight line south through the wetlands, passing through isolated landings and settlements like Sharkey, Strader, and Galva before reaching Manchac Akers P O. This rail corridor was essential for commerce in a landscape dominated by water, where the Tangipahoa River and Bedico River meander toward the lakes.
