1947 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Mississippi River and Kaskaskia River converge here, shaping a landscape defined by shifting watercourses and fertile islands. In this mid-century view, Kaskaskia Island stands as a prominent piece of Illinois territory now located west of the main river channel, containing the historic settlement of Kaskaskia and the site of Old Kaskaskia. The river economy is evident through various landings such as Okaw Ldg and Farmers Ldg, while the railroad infrastructure is dominated by the Missouri Pacific RR and the Iron Mountain Southern RR (Thebes Line).
