About this map

The Mississippi River and Salt River dominate the northeast corner of this late-nineteenth-century landscape, where river commerce meets an expanding rail network. The riverfront hub of Louisiana serves as a focal point for the St Louis Keokuk and Northwestern Railroad, while further inland, Bowling Green sits at the junction of the Chicago and Alton Railroad and the St Louis and Hannibal Railroad. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage systems feeding into the Cuivre and Salt River basins, supporting numerous small agricultural settlements.
