1970 Map of St. Tammany

About this map

St Tammany and the nearby crossroads of St Tammany Corner define the settlement pattern of this piney-woods region north of Lake Pontchartrain during the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by a network of waterways including Lacombe Bayou, Pouchitolawa Cr, and Abita Cr, which drain the low-lying terrain into the nearby coastal marshes. A distinct mix of traditional rural life and mid-century utility is evident, where the quiet Crow Cem and Gum Swamp exist alongside modern infrastructure such as a Pumping Station, a Radio Facility, and a network of pipelines. Large tracts marked as private suggest the legacy of timber or agricultural holdings, while a small Landing Field provides a local aviation connection to the more developed centers of the parish.
