2018 Map of Metropolis

About this map

Metropolis sits prominently along the northern bank of the Ohio River in this 2018 survey, serving as the principal hub of Massac County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major tributaries, including Massac Cr, Burnes Cr, and Sevenmile Cr, which flow through a mix of fertile river bottoms and slightly elevated terrain features like Round Knob. To the north, the margins of the Shawnee National Forest indicate the transition into more densely wooded areas.
