Mississippi River silt and industrial legacy define this narrow strip of inhabited land in Plaquemines Parish, where a thin ribbon of settlements clings to the western bank. Modern infrastructure like HWY 11 and River Rd connects the historic communities of Port Sulphur, Home Place, Potash, and Nestor. The landscape is a complex network of man-made and natural waterways, featuring the Freeport Sulphur Company Canal and numerous bayous such as Bayou Grande Cheniere and Bayou Eau Noire.
