About this map

The confluence of the Mississippi River and Missouri River dominates this mid-century landscape, revealing a complex network of islands, sloughs, and low-lying farmstead plains. The river-driven geography includes significant features like Pelican Island and Portage Island, while the fertile land between the channels is dotted with rural institutions such as Cul de Sac Sch and Point Prairie Sch. In the south, the early aviation footprint of Lambert Airport and Smart Airfield marks the growing infrastructure of the St. Louis metropolitan fringe.
