The Mississippi River creates a massive series of sweeping curves across this suburban landscape, defining the layout of communities from Kenner and Harahan to Westwego. The river's path is marked by significant navigational features like Avondale Bend and Carrollton Bend, which are bridged by the massive Huey P Long Bridge. This area is a dense collection of established neighborhoods including Metairie, River Ridge, and Bonnabel Place, many of which developed along the Metairie Ridge or near major transportation corridors like Airline Dr and the Earhart Expy.
