The view is looking towards the east, with the 190 Bypass at the bottom of the frame heading down towards Covington High. La. Hwy. 25 runs across the frame about two-thirds up in the picture. It is heading off toward the left to go to Folsom, and it is curving towards the right of the frame to go down into Covington. Poole Lumber Company is the large white roof on the right hand side.

The picture is interesting for what it does not show, things that haven't been built yet: the St. Tammany Parish Jail, the Winn Dixie Supermarket and shopping center, the Shell Service Station, drug stores, Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, with no residential subdivisions in the far distance.
