2015 Map of Cairo
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
The confluence of the Mississippi River and the Ohio River dominates this landscape at the southernmost tip of Illinois. The map captures the industrial and river-dependent layout of Cairo, where the street grid terminates at the massive levees holding back the great rivers. Northward along the transportation corridor, a string of riverfront and rail-aligned communities includes Elmwood Place, Future City, and Urbandale, illustrating the historic pattern of settlement following the elevated ground between the floodplains.
