The Bonnet Carre Floodway dominates this river-bend landscape, cutting a wide swathe through the lowlands between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. This massive engineering feature shapes the settlement patterns of St. John the Baptist and St. Charles Parishes, separating the community of Laplace from Montz and Norco to the east. Along the river banks, traditional river-road settlements like Edgard, Lucy, and Killona maintain their historic orientation toward the water, while newer developments such as Riverland Heights and Carrollwood expand inland.
