About this map

The Mississippi River forms a dominant corridor through this landscape, marking the state boundary between Missouri and Illinois. Along the Missouri banks, the small settlements of Annada and Kissenger occupy the lowlands between the river and the dramatic rising terrain of Saltpeter Bluff and Kissenger Hill. This area is defined by its complex riparian geography, where numerous islands such as Carroll Island and Coon Island are separated from the mainland by an intricate network of sloughs, including Shafer Slough and Rabourn Slough.

On the Illinois side, the topography shifts into a series of deep ravines like Wildcat Hollow and Infidel Hollow near the community of Belleview. Local history is preserved in the placement of the Long Cemetery and Poor Cemetery, while the presence of the Moist Soil Trail and Nature Trail suggests a landscape managed for conservation and recreation. The map provides a look at the interplay between the floodplains and the bluffs that hem in the river valley.
