The Mississippi River and Missouri River converge in this densely developed industrial and residential corridor of Madison County. The landscape is defined by the American Bottoms floodplain, where massive engineering works like the Cahokia Diversion Channel manage the hydrological complexity of the river valley. The map documents the close-knit proximity of manufacturing hubs and residential centers, including Granite City, Wood River, and Roxana, alongside the infrastructure that supports them.
