USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
Sugarloaf heights and the American Bottoms define the sharp topographic contrast of this region, where the bluff line separates fertile lowlands from the interior uplands. The city of Columbia serves as a central hub, situated along Illinois 3 at the intersection of several regional rail lines including the Gulf Mobile & Ohio RR and the St Louis Southwestern RR. This mid-century view captures a rural landscape still defined by family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as Sand Bank Sch and Mueller Sch.
