1967 Map of Metropolis

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Fort Massac State Park anchors the Illinois shoreline of the Ohio River in this detailed 1960s study of the riverfront. The city of Metropolis appears at a peak of mid-century development, showing the dense grid of the urban core alongside essential civic institutions like Massac Hospital and the Courthouse. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Illinois Central Railroad and the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad, which supported the region’s transit and river-based commerce.
