NAVIGATIONAL POINT The course of the Mississippi River past and through New Orleans is in the shape of a crescent. As the river reaches the downriver end of that crescent, flowing by then in a northerly direction, it makes a sharp "right-hand" turn to the east. The French Quarter , Faubourg Marigny and Bywater lie on the outside of the bend on the river's Left Descending Bank . The point of land on the river's Right Descending Bank is, and has historically been, called Algiers Point. |
