1993 Map of Cairo
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
Cairo occupies the critical confluence where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi River, a landscape defined by massive levees and industrial riverfront infrastructure. In the 1990s, this southern tip of Illinois reveals a dense concentration of historical and civic sites, including the Mound City National Cem and the extensive grid of Mound City. The geography here is dominated by the flood-prone Barlow Bottoms and a network of sloughs and lakes like Grassy Lake and Minor Lake that reflect the area's ancient river channels.
