2020 Map of Baton Rouge

About this map

Baton Rouge and the surrounding Chester County uplands are defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges that have shaped local settlement for generations. The landscape is heavily dissected by the Sandy River and its numerous tributaries, including Gum Spring Br, Bond Br, and Walkers Mill Br, which flow through the timbered hills. This modern survey captures the rural character of the region, where family and community heritage is preserved in sites like Grant Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and the Old Zion Cem near the southern edge. The distribution of homes along roads like Pinckney Rd and W Chester School Rd reflects a long-standing pattern of ridge-top living above the marshy bottoms of the Little Sandy River and Julies Fork. For the local historian, the map provides a clear look at how contemporary development centers around traditional nodes like Sandy River and the well-tended grounds of Chester Memorial Gardens.
