1965 Map of Baton Rouge
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, anchoring a region where dense urban development in Baton Rouge meets the legacy of the river's plantation economy. Significant river features like Missouri Bend, Plaquemine Point, and Manchac Point reveal the waterway's winding path through West Baton Rouge and Iberville parishes. On the west bank, the industrial character of Port Allen and Plaquemine is evident, while the east bank showcases the sprawling campus of Louisiana State University and A & M College and the Baton Rouge Downtown Airport. Beyond the city, the map preserves the names of numerous historical estates such as St Louis Plantation, Evergreen Plantation, and Poplar Grove Plantation, illustrating how modern infrastructure began to overlay the traditional agricultural landscape during this era of growth.
