1962 Map of Fisk

About this map

Fisk serves as the central hub of this Missouri landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad crosses the winding St Francis River. The topography reveals an extensively engineered drainage system, where natural watercourses like Panther Slough and Run are supplemented by a grid of man-made channels including Mingo Ditch, Johnny Ditch, and Coal Oil Ditch. These ditches underscore the transition of the Duck Creek area into productive agricultural land during the mid-20th century.
