Krotz Springs sits on the western bank of the Atchafalaya River, serving as a critical crossing point between St. Landry Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Atchafalaya Basin, featuring the Morganza Floodway and the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway. These engineering projects dictate the settlement patterns of the region, pushing towns like Lottie, Fordoche, and Aline to the higher ground east of the main spillways.
