1954 Map of Baton Rouge
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Mississippi River winds through the heart of south-central Louisiana in this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape defined by its complex relationship with water. To the west, the Atchafalaya Floodway and Morganza Floodway illustrate the massive engineering efforts required to manage the basin's drainage. The map reveals the dense rail networks of the era, including the Illinois Central Gulf RR and Southern Pacific RR, which connected river towns like Donaldsonville and Plaquemine to larger hubs like Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
