1934 Map of Puxico

About this map

The St Francis River and its complex wetlands dominate this 1930s landscape at the edge of the Ozark Foothills. Extensive drainage efforts are evident through a network of ditches and sloughs, including Mingo Slough and Rockhouse Cypress, which defined the local agricultural economy and settlement patterns. The town of Puxico sits as a primary hub, while the St L (Abandoned) San Francisco line already marks the shifting infrastructure of the early 20th century.
