1951 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Jones Island stands as a focal point in this 1951 revision of the Tangipahoa Parish landscape, situated where the North Pass and Pass Manchac bridge the gap between Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain. The area reveals a complex network of bayous and rivers, including the Tangipahoa River and Tickfaw River, which define the low-lying terrain south of the burgeoning settlements. The presence of the Lumber RR and Illinois Central RR lines illustrates the region's reliance on rail transport for both commerce and connectivity to New Orleans.
