So in the area we are talking about what defines the natural bank of the MSRiver?

Doesn't matter. The landowner has title to property situated landward of "the natural bank"and (whatever that is) and his ownership includes the bed of the river, all the way out to the thread.

At that point the State of Louisiana owns the bed of the river, from the thread all the way over to the opposite side (right descending bank, or "west bank") of the river (up to the ordinary low water line). As you head "west" (landward) from the ordinary low water line on the right/west bank, the riparian (private) owner has title to the land.
