About this map

Shawnee National Forest dominates the topography of this Southern Illinois river landscape, where the Mississippi River and the Big Muddy River converge. The terrain is marked by dramatic shifts between the fertile Oakwood Bottoms and the heights of Bald Knob, which rises sharply above the floodplains. Settlement patterns follow the rail lines, with the Illinois Central RR, Missouri Pacific RR, and Gulf Mobile and Ohio RR connecting towns like Alto Pass and Grand Tower.
