The Amite River snakes through the heart of the low-lying wetlands of Livingston Parish, forming a deep meander that defines the community of French Settlement. This modern survey illustrates the complex relationship between water and habitation in the Louisiana bayou country. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Colyell Bay, Boudreau Bayou, and King George Bayou, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
