Just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation. Excellent article though it took me a few days to finish.

"Atchafalaya" is one of four articles compiled into a book, The Control of Nature, that is also excellent. One other of the four that I remember from that book is about how erosion shapes the Los Angeles basin -- "Los Angeles Against the Mountains".
