About this map

The Mississippi River and Illinois River converge toward the bottom of this mid-century regional study, defining a landscape shaped by river commerce and major rail arteries. Significant rail infrastructure, including the Wabash RR, Gulf Mobile and Ohio, and Burlington Lines, radiates from hubs like Quincy and Jacksonville, reflecting the post-war importance of these transit corridors. The riverine landscape is highly detailed, showing numerous islands such as Hurricane Island and Gilbert Island, alongside secondary waterways like the Salt River and North Fabius River.
