Louisiana is a state found in the US South Central and Deep South regions. It is the 25th most populous state and the 19th smallest by area. Arkansas borders Louisiana to the north, Texas to the west, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the east.
Most of the state’s east boundary is covered by River Mississippi. This is unique because it is one of the only two states that use perishes instead of counties (Alaska is the other). Perishes are used as political subdivisions at a local level.
The largest city in Louisiana is New Orleans, with Baton Rouge being the state capital. This state is divided into two major parts: the alluvial along the coast and the uplands of the north. The alluvial region mainly includes coastal marshlands, low swamp lands, and beaches. It also has barrier islands that cover up to around 20,000 sq miles of the state.
