1954 Map of Baton Rouge

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the dominant spine for this mid-century look at South Louisiana, connecting the industrial growth of Baton Rouge to the outer reaches of New Orleans. Extensive civil engineering efforts are visible through the massive Atchafalaya Floodway, Morganza Floodway, and Bonnet Carre Floodway, which define the region's relationship with its waterways. To the west, the landscape transitions into the bayous of Lafayette and Saint Martinville, where the Longfellow-Evangeline State Park stands near the banks of Bayou Teche.
