The National Leprosarium anchors this stretch of the Mississippi River, marking a unique point of medical history at Carville. This 1970s landscape reveals the complex overlap of river-bottom agriculture and emerging industrial sites between Iberville Parish and Ascension Parish. The river's deep curves create dramatic landforms like Claiborne Island and 81 Mile Point, while the interior is crisscrossed by drainage bayous such as Bayou Braud.
