The Mississippi River winds through this landscape, defining the transition from the developed riverside communities of Chalmette, Meraux, and Violet to the expansive wetlands of the Orleans Parish and St. Bernard Parish border. This area is anchored by the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Perserve, which protects the grounds of the Chalmette National Cem and the adjacent Freedmen's Cem. These sites, along with the NG Jackson Barracks, speak to the deep military and social history of the region.
