The confluence of the Mississippi River, Missouri River, and Illinois River dominates this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating the massive industrial and urban footprint of the St. Louis metropolitan area. Dense residential and commercial development radiates from the riverfront through St Louis and St Charles, supported by a complex web of transport including the Terminal RR Association and major hubs like Lambert-St Louis International Airport. To the west, the urban grid gives way to managed conservation lands such as the August A Busch Memorial Wildlife Area and Weldon Spring State Wildlife Area. Cultural and historic markers are prominent throughout, from the ancient heights of Cahokia Mounds State Park on the Illinois side to the Jefferson Barracks Nat Cem and the sprawling grounds of Washington University.
