2020 Map of Baton Rouge East

About this map

Baton Rouge and its eastern suburbs are defined here by a network of drainage bayous and residential growth during the early twenty-first century. The landscape is carved by waterways like Ward Creek, Clay Cut Bayou, and Jones Creek, which separate established neighborhoods such as Broadmoor and Goodwood from newer developments in Shenandoah and Millerville. Significant educational and medical institutions cluster in the southwest near Essen, including the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University and the Southeastern Louisiana University - Baton Rouge Center. Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by numerous burial grounds, from the large Greenoaks Memorial Park and Resthaven Gardens of Memory Cem to smaller sites like Little Misery Cem and the Knox Cem. This map illustrates the transition from the dense urban core to the expanding parish boundaries near the Comite River.
