1968 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1993About this map
Chester sits prominently on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, serving as a critical point of industry and administration along the Illinois-Missouri border. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Menard State Correctional Center and the adjacent community of Menard, which occupy the riverfront north of the city center. Across the water, the low-lying Kaskaskia Island is protected by an extensive Levee system, reflecting the ongoing struggle to manage the river’s floodplain.
