About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, its massive channel flanked by a system of substantial Levees that protect the low-lying parishes of West Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee. The river's historical shifts are evident in features like Profit Island and the narrow Profit Island Chute, along with numerous oxbow remnants such as Stumpy Lake and Horseshoe Lake. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground near the river and railroads, with small communities like Smithfield, Chamberlin, and Arbroth linked by the Texas and Pacific rail line.
