Mississippi River meanders sharply through the Louisiana sugar belt at the turn of the millennium, defining a landscape of industrial sites and deep-rooted river settlements. The west bank is characterized by the crescent of Claiborne Island and the community of Hohen Solms, while the east bank at Carville is home to the Gillis W Long Center. This area illustrates the long-standing transition from agricultural estates like Mulberry Grove Plantation to heavy industrial operations, evidenced by numerous tailings ponds and waste facilities that now sit adjacent to older river landings.
