The Mississippi River creates a serpentine landscape of dramatic peninsulas in this survey of the river corridor south of Baton Rouge. This environment is defined by its deep bends, including Duncan Point, Manchac Point, and Plaquemine Point, which have historically dictated the placement of agricultural and industrial operations. The western bank is anchored by the city of Plaquemine, where the historic Plaquemine Lock marks the junction with Plaquemine Bayou.
