1953 Map of Geneva

A series of ancient earthworks, including the Palmer-Taylor Mound, Noah Mound, and Buck Point Mound, dot the wetlands near Puzzle Lake, hinting at the long history of human habitation along these waterways. The map documents various hydrologic modifications, such as spoil banks and a levee, reflecting early water management efforts. Smaller features like the Gaging Station and several flowing wells indicate the ongoing measurement and use of the region's abundant water resources.
