1967 Map of Cache
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic landscape of islands and chutes along the Illinois and Missouri border in this 1967 survey. Large landforms like Dogtooth Island and Tywappity Island dominate the river channel, while the interior is defined by the Horseshoe Lake State Conservation Area. Small agrarian settlements including Willard, Miller City, and Roth are connected by the Missouri Pacific and Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroads. The map reveals important genealogical sites, such as Schendler Cem and Thompson Cem, alongside local landmarks like a documented Indian Mound near Lake Milligan. The extensive levee system shown here highlights the ongoing effort to manage the floodplain near the confluence of the Mississippi and Cache River.
