2015 Map of Fred

About this map

Central and Zachary anchor this 2015 survey of the transition between the rolling hills of Olive Branch and the suburban reaches north of the Louisiana state capital. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Comite River, which bisects the area amidst a network of bayous and creeks including Doyle Bayou and Blackwater Bayou. Historically significant family and community markers are numerous throughout the rural landscape, from Douglass Cem near Olive Branch to the Black Cem and Ballard Cem further south. The map documents a blend of established settlements like Slaughter and Deerford alongside modern infrastructure, including the Annison Private Airport and Country Breeze Airport. This record of East Baton Rouge Parish and East Feliciana Parish shows the persistent rural character of these crossroads communities even as residential roads like Arleen Ave and Watson Dr expand.
