False River defines the northern landscape of this region, separating the mainland from the prominent landform known as The Island. The settlement pattern follows the ancient curves of the water, with a dense network of local roads such as Island Rd and La-414 serving a series of historic communities including Jarreau, Lakeland, and Alma. These settlements are closely tied to the agricultural history of the area, evidenced by landmarks like Alma Plantation Rd.
