USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Ancient earthworks and industrial growth meet on this mid-century survey of the Mississippi River bottomlands. At its heart lies the preserved landscape of Cahokia Mounds State Park, dominated by the massive Monks Mound and the nearby Rattlesnake Mound. This prehistoric site is surrounded by the expanding post-war infrastructure of Granite City and East St Louis, including an intricate web of rail lines such as the Illinois Terminal and the Gulf Mobile and Ohio.
