USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Mississippi River floodplain and the winding Edwards River dominate this western Illinois landscape, where the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge covers the bottomlands and Corsépius Island. The map illustrates a mid-century rural economy tied to the rails, with the Chicago Burlington and Quincy line connecting the settlements of New Boston and Joy.
