About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this mid-century landscape, carving notable bends at Solitude Point, Thomas Point, and Free Negro Point. In the 1950s, the area north of Baton Rouge shows a dense concentration of educational and industrial development. Southern University sits along the river bluffs near Scotlandville, while Leland College and the State Industrial School for Boys are situated further north toward Baker. This era captures the expansion of infrastructure such as the Ryan Airport and various tank farms that signal the growing industrial importance of the river corridor.
