The Place of inclusion lies south of the vast Ridge escarpment, on the western terminus of an east-west striking coastal ridge, which is sub-parallel to the enormous Ridge. Here small bayous and streams have dissected the topography subsequent to steep ravines to Make a “hilly” terrain. Reconnaissance, surface and geologic investigations indicate that alluvial-fluvial deposits of the Late Pleistocene Prairie Formation are exposed in the unconventional areas of the Bayou Porteaux-Gulf Hills section.
