About this map

Baton Rouge serves as the focal point of this Mississippi River survey, depicting the city during a period of intense river commerce and early 20th-century rail expansion. The river itself dominates the landscape with dramatic bends at Duncan Point, Manchac Point, and Plaquemine Point. Numerous river landings, such as Evergreen Ldg and Lucky Plantation Ldg, line the banks, signaling the agricultural and shipping reliance on the waterway.
