Port Sulphur and the Mississippi River dominate the southwestern corridor of this Plaquemines Parish landscape, where the land narrows between the river and the marshy expanses of the Gulf coast. This modern survey reflects the complex hydrology of the delta, illustrating the vital role of water management through features like the Pointe A La Hache Relief Outlet and Martins Canal. Small communities such as Happy Jack, Encalade, and Point Michel are positioned along the natural levee, connected by the historic route of River Rd and Levee Rd.
