1936 Map of Hannibal

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Hannibal serves as the focal point of this mid-century riverfront study, where the Mississippi River defines the border between Missouri and Illinois. The landscape is marked by the legacy of its most famous resident, seen in the Mark Twain Memorial Bridge and the Mark Twain Cave south of the city. Significant educational and social landmarks like Hannibal La Grange College and the Hannibal Country Club are situated among the hills overlooking the river valley. To the south, New London anchors the Salt River valley, a region dominated by small rural school districts and family cemeteries like Maupin Cem and Bethel Cem. The transport network shows a bustling rail era with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy RR and Wabash RR converging at this vital river crossing.
