1963 Map of Scotlandville

About this map

Scotlandville and the expansive Southern University campus anchor this industrial and educational corridor along the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. The map documents a significant mid-century transition, showing the intersection of heavy industry, rail transport, and suburban expansion north of Baton Rouge. Historic landforms like Free Negro Point and Solitude Point remain prominent along the river's winding course, while the interior is marked by institutional landmarks such as Leland College and the State Industrial School for Boys. The logistics of the era are visible in the proximity of Ryan Airport to the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad and the Kansas City Southern Railroad. Scattered throughout the landscape are numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Mt Vernon Ch No 1, Barnes Cem, and the Benevolent Society Cem, which provide essential points of reference for local family history.
