The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the border between Missouri and Illinois. At the narrowest point of the river channel, the settlement of Thebes sits perched on the eastern bank, while Illmo and Grays Point occupy the Missouri side. This geography created a natural bottleneck that necessitated a complex rail-and-water logistics network, evidenced by the presence of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois lines.
