USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The East Fork Wood River and West Fork Wood River carve through the agricultural uplands of Madison County, framing a landscape in transition during the mid-20th century. While the northern reaches maintain a rural character around Fosterburg and Moro, the southern portion of the sheet reveals significant post-war development. The expanding residential footprints of Bethalto and Cottage Hills are clearly visible, supported by infrastructure like the Civic Memorial Airport and the sprawling grounds of the Alton State Hospital.
