Covering an area of 135,658 sq. km, the State of Louisiana is located in the Gulf Coast (Deep South) region of the South-Central United States.

As observed on the map, from central Louisiana to its northern border with Arkansas, the landscape of the state elevates very slowly. Here, the rolling hills are crisscrossed by the Red River, as it flows through the state from the northwest to southeast direction. Pointed on the map by an upright yellow triangle is the state’s highest point – Driskill Mountain which rises to an elevation of 535ft (163m) and is located in north-western Louisiana.

The Mississippi River Delta is covered by silt deposited by the Mississippi River as it slows down and enters the Gulf of Mexico. This process continually and slowly extends Louisiana's land further into the Gulf. As the map shows, the Delta and the resulting bayous and swamps cover the majority of Southern Louisiana. The sea level salt marshes stretch along much of the State’s constantly-changing Gulf of Mexico coastline and also extend inland for up to 25 miles in some spots. Subsequently, these salt marshes provide a fertile breeding area for the crabs, fishes, and shrimps. Both New Orleans and Baton Rouge are located in this region on the banks of the river. From these salt marshes, the land gently rises into a wide coastal plain (or prairies) with a few rolling hills to the east and west.

In addition to the massive Mississippi River system, other rivers of the State include, the Atchafalaya, Ouachita, Pearl, Red, and Sabine. The State’s Lakes include the Charles, Grand, Pontchartrain, Sabine and White, and the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Pointed on the map by an inverted yellow triangle is, Louisiana’s lowest point that is situated along the Mississippi River in the city of New Orleans, where the land lies at (-9ft) below sea level.
