1967 Map of Cape Girardeau

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates the eastern edge of this late-1960s survey, framing the city of Cape Girardeau and its shifting islands like Marquette Island and Giboney Island. The urban landscape is marked by a concentration of religious and educational institutions, including St Vincents College, Notre Dame High Sch, and Trinity Sch. Industrial development is evident near the riverfront with a large Cement Plant and Sewage Disposal facilities, while the western periphery maintains a mix of public spaces like Klaus Park and smaller residential pockets like Marietta.
