1968 Map of Ponchatoula

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Ponchatoula and the southern edge of Hammond dominate this late 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape transitioning through suburban growth and interstate development. The Illinois Central railroad remains a central spine through the region, connecting the residential cores of Ponchatoula and the nearby settlement of Wadesboro. Beyond the towns, the terrain gives way to the low-lying waters of South Slough and the Natalbany River, while the Anderson Canal reflects local efforts to manage the marshy environment of Tangipahoa Parish.
