St. Tammany Parish over the years has been home to many communities, some of which appeared on early maps but are no longer listed on modern maps. A number of those have been forgotten by current residents, except perhaps the families of the earliest pioneers who settled the area.
An early United States Post Office Placename Database however, lists many of those no longer placed on maps.
The map below was distributed by the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce in 1930.
Here are a couple of maps from the 1910's and 1930's.
