1963 Map of Baton Rouge West

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Poplar Grove Plantation and Cinclare sit on the west bank of the Mississippi River, representing a landscape where agricultural traditions met emerging industrial infrastructure. This survey captures the mid-century expansion of Baton Rouge, particularly the growth of neighborhoods like Istrouma and North Highlands. The river remains the central axis, defined by the Greater Baton Rouge Port and the engineering of the Intracoastal Waterway (Port Allen Canal) with its critical Port Allen Lock. Educational and social institutions are densely documented, from the School for Blind to McKinley Sr High Sch, alongside numerous community hubs like Sacred Heart Sch. The inclusion of Brusly Landing and the St John Cem provides specific detail for those tracing regional family history and the shifting boundaries of West Baton Rouge Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish.
