The Mississippi River and Missouri River converge just west of this landscape, where the wide floodplains of the American Bottoms meet industrial corridors and growing residential hubs. Central to the map is the Cahokia Diversion Channel, a massive feat of hydrological engineering that cuts across the terrain to manage the waters of Cahokia Creek. This infrastructure supports a dense network of industrial zones and commercial corridors, including the Gateway Commerce Ctr Dr E developments near Edwardsville.
