Bayou Teche and the Lower Atchafalaya River converge in this low-lying region of Saint Mary Parish, where the local economy follows the intricate paths of historic waterways. The town of Patterson serves as a central hub, situated along the BNSF Railway and the corridor of Hwy 182. The landscape is heavily defined by the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway and its extensive levee systems, such as the W Atchafalaya Basin Floodway Levee, which protect settlements like Avalon and Calumet from the surrounding wetlands.
