Altenburg and its neighboring German-heritage settlements in Perry and Cape Girardeau Counties define this mid-century landscape along the western bluffs of the Mississippi River. The map illustrates a densely settled rural network of family-centered landmarks, from the Uniontown Sch to several small crossroads like Frohna and Brazeau. The riverfront remains the primary industrial corridor, featuring the St Louis San Francisco RR hugging the Missouri shoreline and the Illinois Central RR traversing the Illinois side past Fountain Bluff.
