About this map

Bayou Lacombe and its winding tributaries define this piney woods landscape of St. Tammany Parish, captured as the region balanced rural character with growing infrastructure in the early 1970s. The settlement of St Tammany and the nearby St Tammany Corner serve as focal points for local history, while the Crow Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical research near the bayou's banks.

The presence of a Landing Field, Pumping Station, and multiple pipelines crossing the terrain reflects the industrial development of the era. Natural features like Gun Swamp and English Branch remain prominent, showing the low-lying coastal drainage patterns characteristic of the area before extensive modern drainage projects. This map preserves the locations of these local landmarks and watercourses as they existed prior to the rapid expansion of the Northshore region.
