2014 Map of Hannibal East

About this map

Hannibal sits as the central focal point along the western bank of the Mississippi River, where the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge and Wabash Bridge connect Missouri to the riverine lowlands of East Hannibal, Illinois. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of Hannibal to the dramatic bluffs of Cardiff Hill and Holliday Hill. To the south, the industrial and residential footprint of Ilasco and Saverton follows the river's curve, flanked by notable topographic features like Fall Creek Gorge and Lookout Mtn. This river-fronting corridor is heavily marked by local history, visible in the numerous burial grounds such as Riverside Cemetery, Mount Olivet Cemetery, and Brinkmeier Cemetery that dot the hillsides. The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by the intricate hydrology of The Sny and Eagle Slough, reflecting the complex floodplain management required in this historic river crossing.
