USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Alton serves as a major river-and-rail hub in the mid-century, dominated by the expansive industrial and academic infrastructure along the Mississippi River. The map reveals a high concentration of educational institutions, ranging from the historic Monticello Seminary in Godfrey to Shurtleff College and the Western Military Academy in the city’s upper reaches. The riverfront is a hive of activity, featuring Lock and Dam No 26 and the Lewis and Clark Toll Bridge, which connects Illinois to the Portage Des Sioux region in Missouri.
