About this map

The agricultural and industrial landscape of West Baton Rouge Parish is defined here by a dense network of plantation-era settlements and rail infrastructure. Settlements like Lobdell, Westover, and Allendale follow the corridor of the Missouri Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads, reflecting a local economy tied to the movement of goods across the Louisiana delta. The map reveals a deeply etched drainage system where the Grand Bayou and Little Choctaw Bayou navigate a terrain marked by extensive spoil banks, indicative of large-scale water management and land modification efforts near the Mississippi River.
