1939 Map of Zona

About this map

The Bogue Chitto River winds through the heart of this 1939 survey, marking the rural landscape of the Washington and St. Tammany Parish border. At this time, the settlements of Zona and Enon served as local hubs, connected by a network of state highways and country roads. The map reveals a deeply rooted community, documented through numerous family burial grounds such as Magee Cem, Mizell Cem, and Sharp Cem. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by sites like Shady Grove Sch and Sharps Chapel. Notable aviation and forestry infrastructure of the era is present, including an Airway Beacon near Enon and a Fire Tower to the west. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways, including Thigpen Creek, Mulatto Branch, and the Little Bogue Falaya River, illustrating the importance of natural drainage to the local geography.
