About this map

The confluence of the Osage River and the Sac River shapes the geography of this 1940 preliminary edition, which captures the river-bottom lands of St. Clair and Cedar counties before major later-century inundations. The settlement of Roscoe serves as a central hub, flanked by the elevated Osage Heights and the rocky outcrops of Rockhouse Cave and Keeton Cave. The map documents a landscape defined by small-scale agrarian communities and rural education, evidenced by the distribution of several local schools such as Virginia Sch and Riverview Sch.
