1991 Map of Elsah

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Mississippi River waters dominate this landscape, where the confluence with the Missouri River shapes a complex network of channels, levees, and silt-heavy islands. Along the Illinois bluffs, the village of Elsah and the campus of Principle College overlook the river's wide expanse and the prominent Elsah Bar. The Missouri side reveals a low-lying floodplain protected by an extensive levee system, where small rail-side settlements like Machens and Whitecorn sit among backwater features like Weber Lake and Poeling Lake.
