1991 Map of French Settlement
USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Amite River and its intricate drainage network dominate this landscape at the boundary of Livingston Parish and Ascension Parish. The 1991 survey shows the established riverfront communities of Port Vincent and French Settlement, where the economy and culture are closely tied to the water. A complex system of natural and engineered waterways, including the Diversion Canal and Laurel Ridge Canal, reflects local efforts to manage the low-lying wetlands of the Henderson Swamp. Significant local landmarks provide depth for researchers, such as the Indian Mound near King George Island and various community centers like the Lady of the Lake Ch and St Joseph Ch. The map also preserves the locations of numerous family cemeteries, such as the Watson Cem and Wall Cem, alongside small riverine settlements like Head of Island and Coteau Bourgeois.
