The Taft Plant, operated by Occidental Chemical Corporation (OxyChem), sits along Louisiana’s heavily industrialized river corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Like many facilities in the region, the plant plays a role in the state’s vast petrochemical network, producing essential compounds for plastics, coatings, and other materials that fuel modern life. At night, its illuminated sign cuts through the darkness, a quiet marker of the sprawling industry that has shaped both the economy and the environmental debates of the Mississippi River corridor.

On Baton Rouge’s Airline Highway, the road snakes beneath a tangle of overpasses and steel supports, a striking symbol of mid-20th-century infrastructure. Originally developed as a major bypass route, Airline Highway became one of Louisiana’s busiest commercial arteries, linking petrochemical plants, warehouses, and neighborhoods across the capital region. At dusk, the glow of distant lights cuts through the industrial sprawl, underscoring how this corridor remains a vital — if gritty — backbone of the city’s economy and daily life.
