Kaskaskia Island dominates this landscape, a unique piece of Illinois territory now located west of the main channel of the Mississippi River. The map highlights the shifting hydrography of the region, where the Old River and various sloughs like Idlewild Slough and Mitchell Slough trace former paths of the water. This 2024 survey documents the enduring presence of Kaskaskia and Old Kaskaskia, settlements with deep roots in early American history, alongside the Kaskaskia Cem.
