Bayou Lafourche and the Boeuf River wind through this alluvial landscape, defining the boundary between Morehouse Parish and Richland Parish. The complex hydrology of the area is evidenced by numerous engineered and natural water features, including the Lafourche Cut-off, Cut-off Bayou, and Cut-Off Number Two, which altered the original river paths to create landforms like Old River Island and Hegwood Island. These changes reflect long-standing efforts to manage the wetlands and drainage of the Mississippi Delta region.
