About this map

The Baton Rouge city corporation line marks a significant urban expansion during the early 1990s, capturing the suburban development of neighborhoods like Broadmoor and Goodwood. The map documents a dense network of institutional sites including the LSU Rural Life Museum, Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, and numerous parochial institutions such as St Louis King of France Ch and Beth Shalom Synagogue.

Inland drainage systems like Ward Creek and Jones Creek are interwoven with residential tracts and commercial hubs, including the Cortana Mall and Bon Marche Mall. The presence of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and thoroughfares like Florida Blvd illustrate the transit corridors that fueled the growth of settlements such as Inniswold, Essen, and Harelson. Researchers can trace old family burial grounds at Rose Hill Cem and Harelson Cem positioned amidst the encroaching suburban sprawl.
