About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this industrial and urban landscape, serving as the boundary between Missouri and Illinois. On the western bank, the northern neighborhoods of St Louis and Bellefontaine Neighbors appear alongside massive green spaces like Calvary Cemetery and Bellefontaine Cemetery. The river's engineering is on full display with the Chain of Rocks Canal and Lock No 27 bypassing the main channel's natural obstructions near Cabaret Island.

Across the water in Illinois, the heavy industry of Granite City and Madison is evident, supported by the Charles Melvin Price Support Center and numerous rail-fed docks. Farther south, the riverfront is anchored by the Jefferson Nat Expansion Mem and the iconic Eads Bridge, while small enclaves like Brooklyn (Lovejoy PO) and National City sit tucked between the channel and the waters of Horseshoe Lake.
