1977 Map of Barlow

About this map

The Ohio River floodplain dominates the western landscape of this Ballard County quadrangle, where a complex network of wetlands like Axe Lake and Brushy Pond defines the Barlow Bottoms. These lowlands, largely preserved within the Ballard Wildlife Management Area, contrast with the settled interior where the town of Barlow serves as a local hub. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 1970s, featuring the Illinois Central Gulf railroad and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier transportation routes through the marshes.
