2012 Map of Louisiana

About this map

Louisiana serves as a critical river crossing where the Champ Clark Bridge spans the Mississippi River, connecting Missouri to Illinois. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major water systems, including the Salt River, Noix Creek, and Grassy Creek. Significant island formations such as Angle Island and Blackburn Island break the river's flow near the historic town center. The area shows a high concentration of local heritage sites, with several burial grounds including Riverview Cemetery overlooking the water and the Gates of Peace Cemetery situated near the commercial operations of Stark Nursery. To the west and south, the terrain transitions into a network of small drainages like Tanyard Branch and Little Buffalo Creek, while smaller aviation hubs such as Hoover Field and the Mark Twain Air Park serve the regional community.
