1954 Map of Gonzales
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Mississippi River creates a deep meander at Point Houmas on this mid-century survey of Ascension Parish. The landscape is a complex intersection of natural bayous and industrial infrastructure, where the Illinois Central Railroad and Arkansas and Louisiana Missouri Railway serve the riverfront economy. Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial transition is visible in the proximity of Conway Plantation to the Belle Helene Refinery and Belle Helene Sta. Smaller communities such as Marchland and Burnside sit along the river's edge, while Gonzales develops at the junction of the Airline Highway. Rural life is marked by local landmarks like St Paul Church, Little Zion Ch, and the winding paths of Grand Bayou and New River.
