The Mississippi River carves a massive, winding path through this region south of Baton Rouge, defining the boundaries between West Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge, and Iberville parishes. This area is characterized by deep river bends and points, such as Duncan Point and Manchac Point, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and large estates. Plaquemine and St. Gabriel anchor the southern portion of the map, connected by the active Plaquemine Ferry and flanked by industrial and agricultural sites.
