The Mississippi River snakes through the heart of this Plaquemines Parish landscape, defining the narrow strip of habitable ground between the levee and the sprawling wetlands of the delta. Settlements like Port Sulphur, Potash, and Home Place cling to the riverbank along River Rd, protected by a network of drainage features including the Back Levee Ditch and the Pointe A La Hache Relief Outlet. This 2018 survey reveals the industrial and transport infrastructure essential to the region, from the Freeport Sulphur Company Canal to the Birdwin Airport.
