1993 Map of Hannibal East

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape, serving as a state boundary between Missouri and Illinois while shaping the industrial and commemorative character of Hannibal. By the early 1990s, the riverfront was defined by extensive levee systems and riverine islands like Shuck Island and Pearl Island. The map highlights the enduring legacy of local history through the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge and the Mark Twain Cave, alongside numerous limestone Quarries and Mines that underscore the area's geological utility. Downriver, the terrain rises into the river bluffs near Saverton, where the landscape is marked by landmarks like Lookout Mountain and Stewart Cave. Genealogical value is found in the meticulously detailed Riverside Cem, Mt Olivet Cem, and Marble Creek Cem, documenting the resting places of generations settled along the riverbanks and the nearby community of Monkey Run.
