1974 Map of Wildcat Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Kaskaskia River and its intricate network of tributaries and subimpoundments dominate this mid-1970s landscape on the border of Fayette and Marion Counties. This survey illustrates the hydrological transformation of the region, featuring the extensive Carlyle Lake State Wildlife Management Area and numerous ponds like Otter Pond, Half Mile Pond, and Goose Pond. The presence of the Patoka Oil Field in the southeast indicates the local industrial reliance on natural resources, while scattered rural institutions such as Mound Chapel and Columbus Ch point to the area's long-standing community structure. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, including Bear Creek Cem, Taylor Cem, and Magassi Cem, many of which sit near the shifting margins of the river's floodplain and the artificial wetlands of Wildcat Lake.
