2015 Map of Phoenix

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a deep arc through this portion of Plaquemines Parish, dictating the placement of settlements and the intricate network of drainage canals that define the delta landscape. Historically significant communities like Phoenix, Alliance, and Ironton are situated along the river's western and eastern banks, often adjacent to industrial facilities or sprawling agricultural tracks. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the marshy wetlands of the Louisiana coast, where the River aux Chenes and Spanish Lake represent the delicate balance between fresh and saltwater environments.
