The Atchafalaya River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a deep boundary between St. Landry Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish. The town of Melville sits securely behind the river levees, organized around a tight grid of streets like Landrum St and Ollie St. This area is dense with local heritage, particularly evident in the cluster of sacred sites including the Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Cem, Methodist Cem, and Episcopal Cem.
