Regarding your map, this SCOTUS ruling is actually making LA go back to an earlier map with 2 Black Congressional districts. To accomplish that, one District was centered on New Orleans and areas along the MS River with high concentration of Black voters. So it was a very closely connected district. The other majority Black district if memory serves me correctly started up on the LA-Arkansas border and was drawn along the MS River LA/MS border down to Baton Rouge (The areas with large numbers of Black voters). Some earlier Courts used the “Gerrymandering” concept and argued that such a district was geographically/racially gerrymandered and the LA map had to be redrawn.

2 & 6 look pretty gerrymandered.
