The Mississippi River forms a sharp bend at the southwestern edge of this Louisiana landscape, where the alluvial plain transitions into a complex of wetlands and industrial sites. The settlement of St Gabriel and its associated St Gabriel Mission anchor the riverfront, positioned near massive institutional grounds including the Hunt Correctional Center and the Louisiana Correctional Institute For Women. The region's economy and land use are clearly defined by the extraction industry, with the Burtville Oil Field, Willow Glen Oil Field, and ST Gabriel Gas And Oil Field dotting the lowlands.
