1981 Map of Bath
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Illinois River dominates this 1981 survey of Mason and Fulton Counties, creating a complex network of backwaters and wetlands protected within the Anderson Lake State Conservation Area. The landscape is a study in river-adjacent livelihoods, featuring the village of Bath and small riverfront outposts like Holmes Landing. The intricate hydrology is defined by the Snicarte Slough, Patterson Bay, and numerous lakes such as Swan Lake and Moscow Lake, which are separated by a system of levees. On the eastern bank, an old railroad grade runs parallel to the river near Bluff City, marking a former transportation corridor through the floodplains. To the north, Marbletown sits near the mouth of Otter Creek, where the wetlands transition into the agricultural fields of the Illinois river valley.
