2011 Map of Bonne Terre

About this map

The Lead Belt defines this industrial and residential landscape of Saint Francois County, anchored by the city of Bonne Terre. The area is characterized by a high concentration of cemeteries, including Saint Joseph Cemetery, Appleberry Cemetery, and the uniquely named Smallpox Cemetery, providing significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The Big River meanders through the eastern half of the map, carving its way past St Francois State Park and supporting various tributaries like Turkey Creek and Bear Creek. To the west, the planned community of Terre Du Lac features an intricate network of streets and artificial lakes such as Lac Renee and Lac Calista. The map also documents smaller settlements and junctions like Hoffman Junction and Settletown, alongside larger population centers such as Desloge and East Bonne Terre at the southern and eastern edges.
