1971 Map of Slidell
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Camp Villerre anchors the center of this 1971 survey, reflecting the military presence just north of Slidell. The landscape is defined by the transition from the piney woods of St. Tammany Parish down toward the marshes of Lake Pontchartrain, with Bayou Bonfouca and Bayou Liberty snaking through the terrain. The map records a period of transition as Interstate construction cuts through the area, yet older settlements like Alton, St Joe, and Amos remain distinct along the Southern and Gulf Mobile and Ohio rail lines. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds, including Greenwood Cem, Little Zion Cem, and the Forest Lawn Cem Mausoleum, alongside community landmarks like St Margaret Mary Sch and the Drive-in Theater.
