The western edge of Crowley and its surrounding rice-growing country are defined by an intricate network of flumes, siphons, and canals, indicating the region's intensive irrigation-based agriculture. The landscape is bisected by the winding course of Bayou Plaquemine Brule and Lazy Bayou, which dictate the placement of smaller settlements like Estherwood and Midland. Industrial and aviation history is evidenced by the Le Gros Memorial Airport and the Blue Water Gas Plant, alongside numerous gas wells scattered through the rural sections.
