The Blind River and its intricate network of tributaries dominate this low-lying region at the intersection of Ascension, Livingston, St. James, and St. John the Baptist Parishes. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic movement of water through the Petite Amite River and a series of managed waterways like the New River Canal and Bourgeois Canal. These engineering efforts illustrate the ongoing human attempts to drain and navigate the swampy terrain of south Louisiana.
