The Mississippi River carves a massive, winding path through this region south of Baton Rouge, defining the layout of historic riverfront settlements and agricultural land. The city of Plaquemine serves as a primary hub on the west bank, surrounded by established residential areas like Seymourville and Turnerville. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring presence of expansive riverfront estates, including the Saint Louis Plantation and Evergreen Plantation, which occupy large tracts of land along the levees.
