This map, plotted out by Norbury Wayman, shows the various locations of steamboat lines and related companies on the St. Louis levee, detailing three periods of time; before 1865; 1865 - 1900; and 1900 - 1953. Lines and companies are donated by name, location and years of operation. Nearby streets are mapped as well, for easy frame of reference. Scale in feet: 100 ft. = 1 inch.
Fourth and Olive streets, looking west (in the top photo). The Ohio & Mississippi Railroad offices were in the building on the right. Its tracks got to Illinois-town, now East St. Louis, in 1857. An 1865 advertisement said the Ohio & Mississippi was "the Great Broad Gauge Route to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston. Only route to Cincinnati without change of cars. Trains are run by Telegraph. Only route running those elegant state room sleeping cars." The Ohio & Mississippi is now part of the Baltimore & Ohio- and Fourth and Olive has also changed (as shown in the lower of the two photos).
