The Mississippi River and Ohio River converge at the southernmost tip of Illinois, creating a unique delta-like landscape defined by intricate waterways and significant civic centers. The city of Cairo serves as the regional anchor, flanked by the Alexander County Courthouse and its own grid of historic streets. To the north, the transition from river bottomlands to higher ground is marked by Mound City, which holds the Pulaski County Courthouse and the expansive Mound City National Cemetery.
