1963 Map of Scotlandville

About this map

Southern University and the Scotlandville community anchor this industrial and educational corridor along the eastern banks of the Mississippi River. The landscape reveals a complex mix of mid-century suburban expansion and established institutions, including Leland College and the State Industrial School for Boys. To the north, the town of Baker shows significant residential development, while the riverbank itself is defined by distinct landmarks such as Free Negro Point, Mulatto Bend Landing, and Belmont Landing.
