1947 Map of Ware

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-century survey, dividing the landscape between Illinois and Missouri as it winds past Vancill Towhead and Swiftsure Towhead. Along the eastern bank, the commerce of the river and rail is evident, with the Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific, and St Louis San Francisco railroads following the river's course near Ware and Hamburg Landing. The Missouri side features the rugged eastern edge of the Shawnee National Forest, where smaller settlements like Egypt Mills and Bainbridge sit tucked behind the bluffs.
