1963 Map of French Settlement

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Amite River carves a winding path through this low-lying landscape along the border of Livingston and Ascension Parishes. In the early 1960s, the region was defined by a complex network of bayous and cypress-choked wetlands like St Amant Swamp. Small riverside communities such as Port Vincent and French Settlement served as local anchors, their development closely tied to the water. The map documents significant local landmarks including Lady of the Lake Ch and Our Lady Chapel, alongside small family burial grounds like Watson Cem and Feider Cem.
