1961 Map of Sun
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Gulf Mobile And Ohio railroad anchors the local geography of this Southeast Louisiana region, cutting a straight path through the piney woods and wetlands of St. Tammany and Washington Parishes. Near the town of Sun, the Old CHITTO River meanders toward the Pearl River, creating a landscape of sloughs and bottomlands like Devils Swamp. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern typical of the mid-20th century, where crossroads communities like Bush and Talisheek served as local hubs.
