About this map

Hannibal sits as the primary urban center on this western bank of the Mississippi River, where the historic Marion County District 2 Courthouse and street grids of Broadway and Market St meet the riverfront. The landscape transitions from the developed city center to the prominent heights of Cardiff Hill and Holliday Hill, overlooking a complex river system of chutes and islands like Pearl Island and Tower Island.

South of the city, the industrial and residential character shifts towards the settlements of Ilasco and Monkey Run, nestled near the rugged topography of Cave Hollow. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites including Riverside Cem, Mount Olivet Cem and Memorial Park, and the smaller Brinkmeier Cem. Across the water in Illinois, the map tracks the lowlands of East Hannibal and the agricultural reaches of The Sny, providing a detailed look at the floodplain before it rises toward Spencer.
