1951 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Illinois Central railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this Louisiana landscape, connecting the established hubs of Hammond and Ponchatoula to the north with the low-lying reaches of Jones Island. The transition from upland settlement to the wetlands surrounding Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain is marked by a complex network of waterways, including the Tickfaw River and Tangipahoa River. Evidence of early 20th-century industry is found in the extensive Lumber RR spurs that once penetrated the cypress and tupelo swamps.
