False River and the sweeping bends of the Mississippi River dominate this Louisiana landscape, illustrating the complex relationship between the waterway and its surrounding parishes. The town of New Roads serves as a central hub, situated along the oxbow lake that remains from an ancient river course. The geography is defined by a series of revetments, such as the Arrow Bend Revetment and Springfield Bend Revetment, which underscore the ongoing efforts to stabilize the shifting riverbanks near Profit Island.
