About this map

The Mississippi River dominates the eastern boundary of this Missouri landscape, shaping a complex network of chutes and islands such as Powers Island, Goose Island, and Burnham Island. This mid-century survey captures the river’s hydrological influence on the Commerce and Moreland townships, where the land transitions into the alluvial plains of the Sandy Woods and Tywappity. The settlement at Price Landing serves as a focal point near the riverbank, while the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts through the northeastern corner, indicating the vital transport links of the era.
