About this map

Mississippi River transport and the expansion of Gonzales define this portion of Ascension Parish during the mid-20th century. The landscape is a complex network of bayous and man-made waterways, including New River, Bayou Francois, and the Panama Canal, which drain the low-lying terrain. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident along the riverbanks near Point Houmas and the Belle Helene Plantation.
