About this map

Addis and Brusly anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the agricultural legacy of West Baton Rouge Parish meets industrial shipping infrastructure. The modern transit corridors of the Port Allen Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway cut through the terrain, intersecting near the Choctaw Basin Drainage Canal. This network of waterways dominates the central and southern portions of the map, revealing the intricate engineering required for drainage and navigation in the low-lying basin.

To the north, small communities and former station stops like Lobdell Station, Lida Grove, and Westover are linked by a dense grid of rural roads such as Rosedale Rd. Local heritage is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Greater Shiloh Missionary Cem and Saint Catherine Cem, which stand alongside named settlements like Ithra and Catherine. The map also captures the boundary between West Baton Rouge Parish and Iberville Parish near the wetlands of Whisky Bay.
