1888 Map of St. Louis
USGS Topo · Published 1888About this map
The Mississippi River serves as the central artery for this late-19th-century landscape, defined by a complex web of industrial transit and ancient earthworks. East of the dense urban grid of St. Louis, the Illinois floodplain, protected by the American Bottom Levee, reveals a high concentration of rail lines such as the Wabash St Louis and Pacific Railroad and the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad converging on East St Louis. These corridors supported a string of emerging settlements like Brooklyn, Venice, and French Village.
