1970 Map of Chester
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The riverfront city of Chester dominates this 1970s survey, situated along the high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. The landscape is defined by the complex relationship between the water and the shore, featuring the sprawling State Penitentiary at Menard and the extensive rail operations of the Missouri Pacific. Across the river, the floodplain of Bois Brule and the massive Kaskaskia Island highlight the shifting nature of the state boundary, where the river's historical course has left Missouri land on the eastern side of the current channel.
