1962 Map of Comite

About this map

The Comite River meanders through this East Baton Rouge Parish landscape, defining the character of the settlements from Baker to Central. This region, documented across several decades of revisions, shows the transition of rural Louisiana into a suburban network. Community life is anchored by numerous local congregations and burial grounds, including the Shady Grove Ch and Evening Star Cem near Brown Heights, as well as the Friendship Ch situated along the winding Blackwater Bayou. The landscape's economic activity is evidenced by several sandpits and the presence of Glen Oaks High Sch in the burgeoning southern outskirts. Farther east, family-named sites like the Devall Cem and Odom Cem sit near Hub Beaver Bayou, offering clear markers for genealogical research in a territory defined by its complex bayou drainage systems and old parish roads.
