1935 Map of Slidell

About this map

Slidell and its surrounding marshlands are documented here in the early 1950s, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of the Gulf Mobile and Ohio and Southern railroads. The area transition from the piney woods of the St Tammany State Game Forest in the west to the intricate network of the Little West Pearl River in the east. Local life centers on small settlements like Lacombe, Pearl River, and Hickory, with community landmarks such as Peace Grove Ch and the Forest Glen Sch providing touchpoints for genealogical research. Along the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain, the Bayou Lacombe LH marks the navigation entrance at Goose Pt. The mapping of the Military Reservation and family holdings like Dixie Ranch illustrates the mix of federal land use and private homesteads in St Tammany Parish during this era.
