About this map

The Mississippi River forms the central artery of this region, separating Alexandria in Missouri from the city of Warsaw in Illinois. The map documents a complex aquatic landscape of side channels and wetlands, including Hemp Slough, Pickle House Slough, and Whitney Slough. Along the river’s main course, a chain of named features like Greys Island, Kamps-Stiens Island, and Willow Bar reveal the shifting hydrology of the border.

Inland, the Illinois side is marked by a concentration of cemeteries that speak to the area’s genealogy, including Oakland Cem, Catholic Cem, and the Lutheran Cem. Further south, the landscape transitions into the drainage of Rocky Run, where Rocky Run Lake and the Bluff Canal represent local water management. The road network in Warsaw is particularly detailed, preserving historical street names such as Lafayette St and Marion St near the riverfront.
