About this map

The eastern residential and suburban corridors of Baton Rouge are documented here, showing the dense network of neighborhoods and educational institutions that characterize the parish. Long-established family names and local history are preserved in sites like Kleinpeter Cem and Rose Hill Cem, while more contemporary development is visible in communities such as Shenandoah and Inniswold. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where several major waterways including the Comite River and Ward Creek drain the low-lying terrain.

Prominent educational and medical landmarks are noted, including Our Lady of the Lake College and the Southeastern Louisiana Univ School of Nursing. The map traces the critical transportation arteries of Airline Hwy 190 and Florida Blvd, which facilitated the mid-century expansion into districts like Goodwood and Broadmoor. Small bayous, such as Clay Cut Bayou and Honey Cut Bayou, weave through these residential blocks, illustrating the persistence of the region's natural drainage patterns amidst urban growth.
