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.

This nighttime industrial scene is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, home to one of the largest oil refining and petrochemical hubs in the United States. The brightly lit towers and distillation columns belong to facilities along the Mississippi River Industrial Corridor, where refineries like ExxonMobil Baton Rouge operate around the clock. Steam and flares mark the ongoing refining processes that produce gasoline, diesel, and chemical feedstocks central to the region’s economy. The image captures the city’s long-standing connection to the energy and manufacturing industries.
