Louisiana Highway 1065 (LA 1065) is a mostly rural highway in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana between Hammond and Independence. In its more trafficked southern end it is known as North Cherry Street and outside Hammond, North Cherry Street Extension. LA 1065 is a two-lane highway for the entirety of its 11.1-mile-length (17.9 km).
From the south, LA 1065 begins at US 190 in Hammond's Historic District. Proceeding due north, it bridges Ponchatoula Creek and forms a T-intersection with LA 3234 (University Avenue) on the west. It leaves Hammond and enters Tickfaw, crossing crosses LA 1064 (Natalbany Road) and LA 442. North of LA 442, LA 1065 enters Independence and has six sharp turns, the last cosigning it with Cypress Street near central Independence. At the intersection of Cypress Street and Tiger Avenue (so named because the tiger is the mascot of adjacent Independence High School), LA 1065 turns west to follow Tiger Avenue in crossing the Canadian National Railway and immediately to end at the perpendicular US 51 (West Railroad Avenue); directly across that intersection, LA 1063 (cosigned with Fifth Street) assumes the trajectory of LA 1065 and Tiger Avenue.
