1968 Map of Ponchatoula
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Ponchatoula and Hammond anchor this Tangipahoa Parish landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as the primary corridor between the strawberry-growing region and the southern wetlands. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid of the two cities to the swampy reaches of the South Slough and Anderson Canal to the south. Local landmarks like the Drive-in Theater, Zemurray Park, and City Hall illustrate the mid-century community life, while various rural school sites such as Reeves Sch and Vinyard Sch reflect the historical educational layout of the parish.
