The Mississippi River carves a sweeping path through the heart of the River Parishes, defining the boundary between Iberville and Ascension Parishes. This late 2010s landscape is characterized by a series of riverside settlements and points, including Carville, Southwood, and Modeste, many of which developed along the winding River Road. The proximity to the river is evident in the numerous family and church-affiliated burial grounds that dot the riverbanks, such as Mount Bethel Baptist Cem and Saint Marys Cem.
