Bayou Teche defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the settlements of Charenton, Matilda, and Sorrel are clustered along its banks in the early 1960s. This area represents a transition from established agricultural and residential corridors to the expansive wetlands of the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway. The transport of the era is marked by the Southern Pacific railroad line and the critical Charenton Drainage and Navigation Canal, which cuts through the swamp to connect the bayou to the basin waters.
