Brookport is a small historic town situated at the north end of the Sturgis-Ward Bridge (originally named the Paducah-Ohio River Bridge) as it crosses the Ohio River. From the America's Byways web page:
The natural features of the Ohio Valley in Illinois represent some of the most dramatic along the entire river. View unique limestone features such as Cave-in-Rock State Park and Garden of the Gods.
