Route description
LA 639 is a short and lightly travelled local road that begins at just north of the Union Pacific Railroad Track and continues northward to a terminus at an intersection with LA 18 (River Road). Its only major feature is the old Johnson (later renamed Carroll) Plantation, in which a few slave cabins and an overseer's house remain. In recent years, the road has not been signed from River Road or on its short routing.
Junction list
The entire highway is in Edgard, St. John the Baptist Parish.
