About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this West Baton Rouge Parish landscape, forming a massive bend that creates Profit Island and its secondary channel, Profit Island Chute. The eastern bank transitions into East Baton Rouge Parish, while the western side features a high density of small communities and landing sites. Settlements like Smithfield, Chamberlin, and Devalls follow the river's curve, connected by N River Rd. Further inland, the terrain is defined by complex water systems including Stumpy Bayou and Bayou Clause. Local history is anchored by the Chenal Cem in the north and Alford Cem near Alfords. The southern portion of the sheet shows modern infrastructure additions like the Omni Airport near Carey, illustrating how traditional river-bottom settlements have adapted over time while maintaining their proximity to the water's edge.
