1975 Map of Foley

Across the river in Illinois, the settlement of Batchtown sits on higher ground overlooking the river valley. The map documents several local burial sites such as St Barbara Cem and Plummer Cem, alongside river infrastructure like Lock and Dam No 25. This survey records a period when the river was heavily managed for both navigation and conservation, visible in the numerous wildlife management areas like Jim Crow Island and Turner Island that dot the channel.
