What is the highest point in Louisiana south of I-10?

Is it Avery Island or another salt dome?
Update:
I was looking for natural elevation.
Looks like Avery Island wins with a highest elevation of 163 feet.
Honorable mention to Lafayette, which rises up to nearly ~60 feet in some areas.

Probably a landfill somewhere.

Pretty sure the State Capitol is north of I-10 by a couple hundred yards...

I would say the gyp stack at Mosaic Uncle Sam...

It appears to be in the area of Avery Island looking on a Topo map. There is also an area in the general area northwest of Lutcher near Convent that is close. This is a totally unscientific opinion.

In the Pic you can see the red spots. The slightly darker red at Avery Island is 2 or 3 meters higher.

I do not know the answer to this.
That said, the state capitol is known to be taller than the highest landmass (mountain or hill) in the state. Obv. both the capitol and hills are north of 10, so that doesn't help.

This is very Louisiana. Some of the highest points are piles of industrial waste.

Looking at a topo map, it looks like most of the east side of Lafayette is high ground.
The Superdome and a few areas in the New Orleans original "crescent" area are also red on the topo map.
