About this map

Cahokia Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Paddock Creek and Sherry Creek, define the rural character of this Madison County landscape. The mid-century development of Holiday Shores stands as a prominent residential feature, contrasting with the older agrarian settlements like Prairietown and Dorsey. A robust railroad infrastructure transitions through the area, with the Chicago and North Western, Norfolk and Western, and Illinois Terminal lines providing vital links for the regional economy.
