1993 Map of Bethalto

About this map

The East Fork Wood River and West Fork Wood River converge in this transition zone between the developing suburban communities of Madison County and the agricultural tracts toward the Macoupin County line. In the mid-1990s, the landscape is defined by the concentrated residential clusters of East Alton, Rosewood Heights, and Cottage Hills, which contrast with the older, more isolated settlements like Fosterburg and Dorsey further north. Notable institutional and public facilities, such as the St Louis Regional Airport and the Alton Mental Health Ctr, occupy significant acreage, reflecting the region's mid-century expansion.
