Stanford Atwater Bridge (tall structure in background) carrying Interstate 25 across the Cooper River in Katy
The Cooper flows south from Katy across a fertile floodplain and the pine forests of Northern West Monroe. The Cooper meets the Knox and Louis Bayous to form Lake Mynatt, which was formed by a dam in 1935, between Leesville and Louisville.
From Lake Mynatt, the Cooper takes a more southwestern course though Lee and Washington counties, before flowing through downtown Shelby, the river featuring a riverwalk in town. From Shelby to the mouth of the river, the Cooper is largely channelized as it enterers the suburbs of Willmington. In Freemont County, after flowing past Willmington Carter International Airport, the river largely forms the city limits between Bishop on the south bank, and Ferris and Willmington on the north bank. South of the Interstate 10 and Ibican Route 2 bridges, the river opens into a wider, dredged estuary hosting the Port of Willmington and Willmington Navy Yard. At its mouth on the Gulf of Monroe, West Monroe State Highway 1 also tunnels under the river.
