1963 Map of Baton Rouge East

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Baton Rouge expands eastward toward the Comite River in this detailed look at the capital's suburban growth during the mid-to-late 20th century. The landscape is a mix of established residential developments like Broadmoor and Goodwood alongside rural pockets and emerging infrastructure. Distinctive landmarks such as the Baton Rouge Depot and the Baton Rouge Country Club sit near specialized sites like the Green Oaks Memorial Park and the Bon Marche Shopping Center. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller family or community burial grounds, including Harelson Cem, Kleinpeter Cem, and the Bible Students Cem. The mapping also tracks the winding paths of Ward Creek and Jones Creek as they navigate the area's drainage before reaching the Bayou Duplantier and Clay Cut Bayou.
