1964 Map of Peach Orchard

About this map

The Black River and Little River snake through this low-lying landscape, creating a complex network of wetlands and sloughs such as Woodland Slough and Cold Water Slough. The State Game Area dominates the central portion of the map, preserving a dense cluster of river-bottom features including Murphy Lake and the Little River Cutoff. This 1964 survey captures the distinct transition between the alluvial bottomlands and the elevated terrain of Crowley Ridge in the southeast corner.
