1996 Map of Comite

About this map

The Comite River meanders through this landscape on the northern edges of Baton Rouge, where suburban expansion meets the rural bayou country of the mid-1990s. The map documents a transition from established residential communities like Baker and Brown Heights to more dispersed settlements such as Central and Puckett. Local spiritual and community history is well-preserved through numerous named congregations, including Friendship Ch and Evening Star Ch, alongside family landmarks like the Devall Cem and Odom Cem.
