Edwardsville serves as a dense crossroads of heavy industry and education in the mid-20th century, centered around its historic Courthouse and County Jail. The landscape is dominated by a complex web of rail lines, including the Terminal Railroad Association of St Louis and the Illinois Terminal, which weave through the town and connect outlying settlements like Glen Carbon and Le Claire. The era of mid-century expansion is visible in the footprint of the Southern Illinois University (Edwardsville Campus) and the residential growth near Dunlap Lake.
