About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a complex boundary between Missouri and Illinois through a network of chutes and islands. On the Illinois side, the settlement of McClure serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of the Missouri Pacific and Illinois Central railroads. The map captures a vital transit corridor where rail lines and the Big Inch pipeline traverse the bottomlands. To the east, the terrain rises into the Shawnee National Forest, where deep drainages like Dongola Hollow and Happy Hollow cut through the hills.
