1953 Map of French Settlement

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Amite River defines the landscape of this mid-century survey, winding through the low-lying terrain of the Livingston Parish and Ascension Parish border. Small riverfront communities such as Port Vincent and French Settlement serve as focal points for local navigation and commerce, connected by a network of bayous and lakes. The area is dense with named water features like Colyell Bay, Flat Lake, and Boudreau Bayou, which historically shaped the settlement patterns of this swampy region.
