1951 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Illinois Central R.R. cuts a straight line south through the wetlands of Tangipahoa Parish, bridging the gap between Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. This low-lying landscape is defined by the complex waterways of Jones Island, where the North Pass and Manchac Pass meet near the fishing and rail community of Manchac Akers P.O.. At the edge of the open water, the Pass Manchac L H stands as a vital navigational marker for vessels transitioning between the lakes.
