The Mississippi River defines the geography of West Baton Rouge Parish, its winding course shaping a landscape of low-lying ridges and agricultural tracts. This 2012 survey captures the alluvial plains between Rougon and Devalls, where historical landings like Kelson Landing and Barroza Landing once served as vital points of contact for the river trade. The interior is a network of bayous and drainage, with Bayou Clause and Stumpy Bayou threading through areas settled by families whose names remain on the land at places like Alfords and the Alford Cem.
