The Mississippi River creates a sharp natural boundary for this section of Plaquemines and Jefferson Parishes, where the low-lying wetlands of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve meet the industrial and military infrastructure of the contemporary South. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic engineering, including the Intracoastal Waterway, Hero Cutoff, and numerous drainage channels like Sarah Canal and Augusta Canal. This network of water sustains a series of linear settlements along the river's western bank, including Bertrandville, Oakville, and Cedar Grove. The interior is dominated by the sprawling Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base New Orleans and its associated Alvin Callender Field, illustrating the strategic maritime and aerial importance of this region south of the metropolitan center.
