2018 Map of Comite

About this map

The Comite River meanders through this portion of East Baton Rouge Parish, creating a complex corridor of wetlands and bayous such as White Bayou and Beaver Bayou. The landscape transition is evident as the suburban expansion of Baton Rouge and Baker meets established rural communities like Central and Puckett. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller family burial grounds dispersed among the residential developments, including Edwards Cem near Tanglewood and Devall Cem further south. The proximity of Clark Field to residential clusters like Brown Heights reflects the mixed-use character of the area in 2018. Major thoroughfares such as the Central Thruway and Greenwell Springs Rd connect these outlying settlements to the urban core of Zion City and Greendale.
