Baton Rouge Map Art

Baton Rouge sits on a sharp crescent bend of the Mississippi River, the waterway looping nearly back on itself through downtown. The street grid runs perpendicular to the river's curve, with North Boulevard and South Boulevard tracking the levee line, while Florida Boulevard cuts straight across the northern sections. The city spreads inland from the water's edge in concentric patterns, bounded by swamp and bayou to the east and south.
