Industrial expansion and river engineering dominate this mid-century landscape along the Mississippi River in Madison County. Extensive Oil Refinery complexes sit between Wood River, Roxana, and Hartford, marking the area's role in the regional energy economy. The massive Chain of Rocks Canal and the Cahokia Diversion Channel demonstrate the significant hydrological modifications made to manage the river's flow and support navigation.
