The Mississippi River creates a winding corridor through Plaquemines Parish, where narrow strips of habitable land are bordered by the intricate canal and bayou networks of the coastal marsh. Settlements like Phoenix and Carlisle cling to the riverbank, following the path of Hwy 15. This landscape is defined by the tension between the river and the encroaching wetlands, evidenced by the numerous drainage and transit canals such as the Forty Arpent Canal and the Back Levee Canal.
