About this map

The Kaskaskia River valley in Randolph County serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, illustrating the intersection of rail transport and river management. The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor runs parallel to the waterway, connecting settlements like Flinton, Roots, and Evansville. Cultural landmarks are densely mapped around these towns, including St Johns Ch and multiple burial sites such as St Peters Cem and St Boniface Cem.

The presence of the Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Area highlights the preserved wetlands and bottomlands of the region, contrasted by industrial features like a Quarry and Sandpit. Further south, Ellis Grove is shown with its proximity to Ninemile Creek, while small family-named landmarks like McCormick Cem and Kelly Cem offer valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing local heritage near the river's winding course.
