1955 Map of Thebes
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic border between Illinois and Missouri in this mid-century survey, defining a landscape of complex riverine islands and floodplain ecology. Large tracts of the Shawnee National Forest and the Horseshoe Lake State Game Preserve dominate the eastern bank, illustrating a concerted effort toward conservation and flood management. The interior is a dense network of drainage channels and oxbows, where the Cache River and Grand Lake sit near the rail-oriented settlements of Tamms and Olive Branch.
