1954 Map of Pride

About this map

The Amite River meanders along the eastern edge of this East Baton Rouge Parish landscape, forming a natural boundary where it meets St Helena and Livingston Parishes. This mid-century survey captures the rural character of the region during a time of scattered settlements and established country landmarks. Community life centers around places like Pride, where Pride Chapel and the Sandy Creek Ch serve the local population. Further north, the crossing at Reimer Crossing on Bell Creek and the settlement of Oaknolia illustrate the traditional movement patterns across the creeks and bayous.
