The Mississippi River carves a complex course through this borderland between Louisiana and Mississippi, creating a landscape defined by oxbow lakes and relict river channels. The settlement of Spokane sits on the western bank of the narrow, curved Lake Saint John, while Canebrake is positioned further east toward the current river channel. This environment is shaped by the river's historical shifts, evidenced by the Waterproof Cutoff and numerous bends like Marengo Bend and Fairchilds Bend.
