1951 Map of Wood River
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Industrial infrastructure and river management dominate this 1951 study of the Mississippi River floodplain in Madison County. Extensive Oil Refinery complexes and an Oil Reservoir at Wood River and Roxana signal the region's mid-century economic engine, supported by a dense rail network including the Terminal RR and the Wabash RR. The landscape reveals a complex relationship with water, where the Mississippi River meets the Cahokia Diversion Channel and the Old Channel Wood River.
