Bloody Island seen in the bottom right of an 1853 map of St. Louis. It shows the island much larger than it was in 1817, but also snug to the Illinois riverbank. The island is just upriver from the St. Louis riverboat landing. Eventually, it would blend entirely into the Illinois mainland. (Missouri History Museum)
