Geography, Louisiana Facts
About half of Alabama
Louisiana can be divided into three main geographic land
areas. The East Gulf Coastal Plain consists of marshland east of the Mississippi
River, and then rises slightly to rolling hills north of Lake Pontchartrain. The
Mississippi Alluvial Plain is located along the Mississippi River and is
characterized by ridges and hollows. This area includes the huge Mississippi
Delta area covering about one-quarter of the state. This is the most fertile
area of the state. Finally, the West Gulf Coastal Plain includes the area west
of the Alluvial Plain and includes the highest point in the state, Driskill
Mountain, near Arkansas. The lowest point in the state is in New Orleans and is
8 feet below sea level. This is the second lowest place in the United States
next to Death Valley in California.
