2012 Map of Chester

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the southwestern edge of this landscape, where Chester sits atop the bluffs overlooking the river bottoms and Horse Island. The river's influence on local development is evident in the transition from the concentrated street grid of the city to the smaller outlying communities of Menard and Claryville. To the north and east, the terrain is shaped by a network of drainage systems including Tindall Cr, Gravel Cr, and the Marys River, which flows toward the Mississippi near the settlement of Clores.
