About this map

Baton Rouge expands eastward in this mid-1990s record of rapid suburbanization across East Baton Rouge Parish. The map reveals an intricate network of residential neighborhoods like Red Oak, Broadmoor, and Goodwood filling the spaces between established thoroughfares like Florida Blvd and Jefferson Highway. Institutional growth is evident in the concentration of medical and educational facilities, including the sprawling Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and the LSU Rural Life Museum.

Historically significant landmarks such as the Baton Rouge Depot and a dense array of religious and educational sites, from Beth Shalom Synagogue to St Louis King of France Ch, define the local social landscape. The terrain is marked by a complex drainage system featuring Hurricane Creek, Jones Creek, and Bayou Manchac, which carve through the dense suburban grid of shopping centers like Cortana Mall and Bon Marche Mall.
