  • Geology of the French Settlement 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, LA
    Geology of the French Settlement 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, LA Louisiana Geological Survey Introduction, Location, and Geologic Setting The French Settlement 7.5-minute quadrangle lies east of the Holocene Mississippi River flood plain in the southeastern portion of the south Louisiana coastal plain (Figures 1, 2), in the drainage basin of the Amite River. The axis of the deep-subsurface lower Cretaceous shelf edge (Toledo Bend flexure), which trends west-northwest to east-southeast, lies approximately 28 km (17.4 mi) to the north of the study area. The surface of French Settlement quadrangle comprises strata of the Pleistocene Hammond alloformation, Prairie Allogroup, characterized by a preserved depositional surface with indistinct constructional topography. Late Pleistocene Peoria Loess thinner than 1 m (3 ft) in most places, but ranging up to 3 m (10 ft) thick along the south half of the quadrangle’s western edge, covers the Hammond, and Holocene deposits incise it. The latter comprises undifferentiated alluvium of the Amite River and its tributaries and, in the quadrangle’s southeastern portion, Holocene coastal swamp deposits fringing the proximal edge of the Holocene Mississippi River delta plain. The units recognized and mapped in this investigation are summarized in Figures 3 and 4. Previous Work The French Settlement quadrangle is in the northwestern portion of the Ponchatoula 30 × 60 minute quadrangle, the surface geology of which was compiled at 1:100,000 scale by McCulloh et al. (1997) with STATEMAP support, and later prepared as a Louisiana Geological Survey (LGS) lithograph (McCulloh et al., 2003a). The original 1996–1997 STATEMAP project included compilation of the Amite 30 × 60 minute geologic quadrangle, adjoining Ponchatoula quadrangle on the north, also later prepared as a lithograph (McCulloh et al., 2009).
