2017 Map of Annada

About this map

Annada sits at the base of Saltpeter Bluff in this riverfront landscape along the border of Missouri and Illinois. The terrain is defined by the shifting course of the Mississippi River, which separates Pike County, Missouri, from Calhoun County, Illinois. The river is choked with numerous named landforms including Eagle Island, Amaranth Island, and the ominously named Dead Mans Island. To the west, the landscape rises into the Cooper Knobs and Kissenger Hill, while the lowlands are dominated by a complex network of backwaters like Negro Slough and Rahburn Slough. This survey captures the rural character of settlements such as Kissenger and Belleview, highlighting the proximity of historical burial sites like Long Cem and Poor Cem. The local transportation network consists primarily of county routes like Pike 214 and riverfront paths such as Mississippi River Rd, serving a region deeply tied to the river's hydrology.
