2012 Map of Long Island

About this map

Mississippi River braided channels dominate this landscape, creating a complex archipelago of landforms such as Long Island, La Grange Island, and Flannigan Island. On the Missouri side, the settlement of La Grange sits at the river's edge, marked by the mouth of the Wyaconda River and the nearby Oyster Br. The map reveals a distinct contrast between the river’s alluvial islands and the upland agriculture of the Illinois side, where a rigid grid of country roads connects sites like Campbell Farms. Local aviation is represented by both Schnelle Airport and the Blickhan Landing Area Airport, serving the rural communities along the river valley. Numerous secondary waterways like Frazier Cr and Rock Cr drain the eastern bluffs into the main channel, while backwaters like Goose Lake and Corner Slough highlight the shifting nature of the river's path.
