1970 Map of St. Tammany

About this map

Bayou Lacombe winds through the wetlands and pine forests of St. Tammany Parish, anchoring a landscape where rural settlements and emerging infrastructure intersect. This survey, based on 1969 photography with 1994 updates, documents the small communities of St Tammany and St Tammany Corner during a period of transition. The presence of a Landing Field, a Pumping Station, and multiple pipelines indicates the growing industrial and logistical importance of the region. Local history is preserved at the Crow Cem, while the natural drainage of the area is defined by Abita Cr, English Branch, and the dense Gum Swamp. The map also highlights numerous private roads and property boundaries, reflecting the land use patterns before more intensive suburban development reached this part of the parish.
