1953 Map of Gonzales
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Gonzales serves as a central hub in this mid-century survey of Ascension Parish, where the local economy follows the winding paths of bayous and rails. The settlement of Burnside sits at a prominent bend in the Mississippi River near Point Houmas, marking a critical transition point from river transport to the interior. Extensive drainage networks, including the Panama Canal and the Bayou Conway, define the low-lying terrain, supporting rural communities like Marchlandville and Brittany.
