The Mississippi River creates a natural boundary between St. Louis, Missouri, and the industrial landscape of the American Bottoms in Illinois. This riverfront corridor features the iconic Gateway Arch National Park, while further downstream, the Sidney Street Ferry and the St Louis Air Force Station reflect the area's long-standing connection to transport and military aviation. The map details the intricate waterways that crisscross the floodplain, including Cahokia Chute, Prairie du Pont Creek, and the Harding Ditch. In the Illinois settlements of Cahokia, Dupo, and Sauget, the landscape is a mix of residential neighborhoods, industrial sites like Vulcan, and significant local landmarks such as St Louis Downtown Airport. Genealogists may find value in the presence of Holy Family Cem, Saint Joseph Cem, and Zion Cem, which serve as physical links to the historic communities established along the river's eastern banks.
