About this map

The city of Cape Girardeau dominates this mid-century survey, positioned along the western bank of the Mississippi River as it passes Giboney Island. The urban core is a dense network of institutional and educational landmarks, including Southeast Missouri State College, St Vincents College, and Notre Dame High Sch. Extensive public spaces like Arena Park and Capaha Park provide greenery amidst the residential expansion pushing westward toward the Kings Highway.
