West Alton

West Alton has served as a river settlement in Missouri since the 19th century. It occupies low ground near the meeting of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, within a broad floodplain north of St. Louis. This is a working river landscape shaped by levees, agricultural fields and the changing courses of two of North America’s great waterways. The community was heavily affected by the Mississippi River flood of 1993, an event that remains central to local memory. Nearby conservation areas protect wetlands used by migratory birds.
