2012 Map of Monks Mound

About this map

Monks Mound and Rattlesnake Mound stand as prominent prehistoric earthworks in a landscape increasingly defined by the industrial and residential growth of the Metro East region. This 2012 survey details the complex geography between Granite City and Collinsville, where vast water bodies like Horseshoe Lake and Canteen Lake persist alongside extensive infrastructure. The map is a valuable resource for local historians, documenting established neighborhoods such as Maryland Place and Rosemont, as well as older landmarks like the Saint Johns United Church of Christ Old Cem and Kirkpatrick Cem.
