About this map

The Tangipahoa River and Chefuncte River define the hydraulic landscape of this Tangipahoa Parish region in the early 1940s. Centered around the settlement of Robert, the map reveals a rural network of farm-to-market roads and the Illinois Central railroad corridor. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family-named landmarks including Henen Cem, Joiner Cem, and Reid Cem, alongside community anchors like Uneedus Sch and Mt Zion Ch. The presence of the Hammond Fire Tower and Zemurray Lodge suggests the importance of timber and land management during this era. A complex system of tributaries, including Chappepeela Creek and Washley Creek, feeds into the larger river systems, illustrating the wetland character of the Louisiana interior before modern drainage and highway development significantly altered the drainage patterns.
