1962 Map of Comite
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Comite River and its numerous tributaries, including Blackwater Bayou and Beaver Bayou, define the landscape of East Baton Rouge Parish in this early 1960s perspective. The area shows a transition from rural land use to suburban expansion, with purple tints highlighting growth in residential pockets like Brown Heights, Tanglewood, and Zion City. The network of secondary roads, such as Sullivan Road and Wax Road, connects established community centers like Central and Puckett. Local history is deeply embedded in the numerous country churches and family burial grounds that dot the parish, including Zoar Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and Devall Cem. Educational and recreational development is evident through the presence of Glen Oaks High Sch and Greenwell Springs Park, while industrial activity is represented by several Sandpits along the riverbanks.
