1961 Map of Baton Rouge
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Mississippi River defines the heart of this mid-century landscape, snaking in tight meanders past Baton Rouge and through the alluvial bottomlands of Pointe Coupee Parish. This survey shows the complex relationship between the water and the land, where named river features like Sardine Point and Profit Island mark the shifting channel. To the east, the terrain transitions into the expansive wetlands surrounding Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain, an area dominated by the Amite River and Tickfaw River systems.
