Bayou Nwa

The region consists of bayous and swamps fed by Kamassa River flowing south from Roanoke Ridge, with the metropolis of Saint Denis in the east. It is bordered by the river to the west, Bluewater Marsh to the north and Lannahechee River to the east and south. It is situated on a delta between outlets of the two rivers, as such, water within the bayou is stagnant, slow moving and full of American alligators resting below and by the riversides. The region is mostly flat and low-lying characterized by floodplains and an abundance of hardwood trees and mangroves, in particular, growing in the swamp waters. Traversing the area can be slow due to the massive deposits of silt and mud flowing from the river. To avoid this, some of the roadways are elevated on boardwalks. This keeps travelers dry and moving quickly. Despite the soggy, harsh landscape the region is quite populated with the urban conglomeration of Saint Denis extended well beyond the city proper.
