1963 Map of Baton Rouge

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dramatic series of loops through this 1963 landscape, defining the boundaries between East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, and Iberville Parishes. The state capital is shown in a period of mid-century expansion, with industrial developments and transportation hubs like the Baton Rouge Depot and the Downtown Airport integrated into the city grid. Significant agricultural history is preserved along the riverbanks, where estates such as St Louis Plantation and Cottage Plantation remain prominent features near the water's edge.
