The Morganza Floodway and Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominate this portion of Pointe Coupee Parish, illustrating the massive hydrological infrastructure required to manage the southern Mississippi River drainage. Settlements like Lottie and Fordoche are clustered along the eastern margin, positioned on higher ground away from the spillway zones. These communities are linked by local roads such as Charles Rd and Fordoche Rd, while the western edge of the map shows Krotz Springs situated where the Atchafalaya River forms the boundary with St. Landry Parish.
