1947 Map of Wolf Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The Mississippi River floodplain dominates this 1940s landscape, where complex water systems like Tower Island Chute and Running Lake define the western border. Small settlements such as Aldridge, La Rue, and Wolf Lake are situated along the valley floor, connected by a network of levees and local roads that navigate the marshes and sloughs. To the east, the dramatic rise of the Pine Hills provides a sharp geological contrast, much of which is managed as part of the Shawnee National Forest. This intersection of river bottomlands and high bluffs created a unique environment for mid-century residents, evidenced by landmarks like Galilee Ch and the Pine Hills Campground. Researchers can observe how the drainage patterns of the Grand Tower Big Muddy River and Big Bayou influenced the placement of farms and small hamlets near Halsey and Kings Ferry.
