Additional Information This detailed depiction of the most populous parish in Louisiana shows the city in a period of significant growth, transformation, and prosperity as the turn of the twentieth century neared. The town's rich history dates back to its foundation in 1699 when European immigrants chose the area due to its geographic location at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. These immigrants laid the foundation for what would eventually become the State Capital of Louisiana. By 1895 Baton Rouge had become a cosmopolitan city and cultural staple of the American south. The unique aesthetic and distinctive style immediately transports the viewer back in time and creates an indelible link between the past and present. This is truly an authentic piece of cartographical history. The city's western region was mapped by local Civil Engineer C.H. Dickinson and depicts the town to the west of the Mississippi River. As one of the primary methods for transporting goods to major markets in the North and allowing for the export of agricultural and manufactured products to reach the port in New Orleans, the river allowed for the expansion of numerous markets thought the Midwest and southern states. Baton Rouge was occupied by Union forces in 1862 and would remain under their control for the duration of the Civil War. After the conclusion of the war, Baton Rouge was able to flourish and experienced a population boom as the city was largely unharmed during the conflict. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
