About this map

The Amite River winds through this region of southern Louisiana, defining the boundary between Livingston and Ascension Parishes. The landscape is a dense network of waterways including Colyell Creek, Poley Bayou, and Pierre Bayou, which drain into the river near the community of Port Vincent. This area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and swamps, such as St Amant Swamp, with numerous named points and lakes like Lake Villars and Flat Lake indicating the river's shifting path over time.
