1962 Map of Puxico
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Puxico serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated where the high ground of the Mingo Flat meets a complex network of wetlands and drainage. The Mingo National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern portion of the map, characterized by its labyrinthine water system including Rockhouse Cypress Lake, Kentucky Slough, and numerous man-made channels like Ditch No 10. This intricate drainage pattern, including the curiously named Coal Oil Johnny Ditch, reveals the intensive 20th-century efforts to manage the water levels of the lowlands for local agriculture and conservation.
