Kaskaskia Island and the shifting course of the Mississippi River dominate this landscape, illustrating the complex riverine geography where Illinois and Missouri meet. This survey captures the unusual geopolitical enclave of Kaskaskia, the former capital of Illinois Territory, which was physically separated from the rest of the state by the great flood of 1881. The map detail highlights the agrarian patterns on the island, accessed by La Grande Rue and Common Field Rd, alongside remnants of earlier settlements at Old Kaskaskia.
