USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Kaskaskia Island dominates this stretch of the Mississippi River, showcasing the complex jurisdictional boundary between Illinois and Missouri. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and iron, where the Missouri Pacific and St Louis and San Francisco railroads intersect with river landings like Farmers Ldg and Okaw Ldg. A significant historical footprint is visible at Old Kaskaskia and the nearby Fort Gage, which sit across the water from the sprawling Penitentiary (Menard) at Chester.
