USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Mississippi River creates a stark divide between the industrial and agricultural landscapes of East and West Baton Rouge Parishes in the early 1950s. On the east bank, the urban density of Baton Rouge is evident, centered around the sprawling campus of Louisiana State University and A&M College and landmarks like Capitol Lake and the National Cem. This side of the river is a hub of education and state services, featuring specialized institutions like the School for Deaf and School for Blind.
