USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Belleville and the expanding industrial corridor of Southern Illinois anchor this 1950s-era landscape, revised to show the emergence of major water projects and regional infrastructure. The massive Carlyle Reservoir and Rend Lake stand out as dominant features, altering the hydrology once defined solely by the Kaskaskia River and Little Wabash River. These man-made lakes sit amidst a legacy of diverse terrain, including the historic Looking Glass Prairie and Grande Cote Prairie, alongside natural landmarks like Emerald Mound.
