1942 Map of Waldheim

About this map

St Benedict and the St Gertrudes Convent serve as landmarks in this part of St. Tammany Parish, where the winding Bogue Falaya River and its numerous tributaries like the Little Bogue Falaya River dictate the rural layout. Small communities such as Blond, Bills, and Waldheim are connected by a network of early roads, including the Military Road and Bush Highway. The landscape is dotted with evidence of early 20th-century life, from the Intermediate Landing Field at the center of the sheet to numerous country schools like Middle Road Sch and Pilgrims Rest Sch. A high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Sharp Cem and the Five Mile Still Cem, offers significant detail for genealogists tracing families in the piney woods north of Covington during the late 1930s.
