1915 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1915About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border between Illinois and Missouri, defining the shifting geography of Kaskaskia Island. In this period, the river's historic channel to the east of the island had long since been abandoned by the main flow, leaving the village of Kaskaskia and Dozaville on a landmass physically separated from the rest of Illinois. The map documents an intricate network of early 20th-century transportation, including the St Louis Iron Mountain and Southern and the Cape Girardeau Northern railroads, which serviced river landings and small agricultural hubs.
