1939 Map of Zachary
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
Leland College and the growing rail towns of East Baton Rouge Parish define this 1939 survey, which captures the region just before mid-century expansion. The Illinois Central Railroad and Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad corridors serve as the primary axes for settlements like Zachary, Baker, and Slaughter. This network supported a rural economy transitioning toward industrialization, evidenced by the oil reserve pits and the industrial activity near Scotlandville.
