2024 Map of Baton Rouge West

About this map

The Mississippi River serves as the central divide for this riverfront landscape, separating Baton Rouge from the western parish seats and industrial corridors. On the east bank, the sprawling campus of Louisiana State University and the surrounding neighborhoods like Arlington and Collegetown dominate the southern portion of the city. To the north, the historic Istrouma Bluff overlooks the water, while a dense concentration of burial grounds including Magnolia Cem and the National Cemetery provides significant genealogical value near the city center.
