About this map

The Mississippi River floodplain in Illinois dominates this 1910 survey, showing the complex interaction between water and early 20th-century settlement. Agriculture and transportation dictated the layout of the land, with the St Louis and Iron Mountain Southern (Missouri Pacific Line) railway cutting a straight path along the base of the eastern Bluff. Small rural centers such as Valmeyer and Harrisonville served as the primary hubs for local farmers, supported by essential community landmarks like the Blue Church and numerous one-room schoolhouses, including Riverview School and Central School.
