1966 Map of Thebes
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the border between Alexander Co Illinois and Missouri. The settlement of Thebes sits prominently on the riverbank, defined by its position at the intersection of major rail corridors, including the St Louis-San Francisco RR and Illinois Central RR. To the west, Scott City shows a more modern footprint near the Missouri Pacific RR, while Commerce sits on the Missouri side overlooking the main channel. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries such as Hutchison Cem and Twente Cem, pointing to the deep genealogical roots of the river towns.
