1959 Map of Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Ohio River dominates this landscape, winding between Kentucky and Indiana before the modern modifications changed its banks. Along the northern floodplains, an intricate network of wetlands including Little Cypress Slough, Muddy Slough, and Big Brushy Slough reveals the river's historical overflow patterns and the drainage challenges faced by early settlers. Landmarks such as Lock and Dam No 48 provide evidence of mid-century navigation efforts on the waterway, while the presence of Deadmans Island and Henderson Island indicates the shifting nature of the river channel.
