1978 Map of Rockport
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Mississippi River creates a complex system of islands and backwaters along the border of Illinois and Missouri in this late-1970s landscape. The Rockport settlement sits at the base of the eastern bluffs, where the river plain meets the higher elevations of Derry and Atlas townships. This map provides a detailed view of the extensive drainage engineering required to manage the bottomlands, including the Kiser Creek Diversion Ditch and Easley Ditch, alongside multiple settling basins designed to control siltation from the bluff-fed streams like Brown Branch.
