About this map

The suburban landscape of Saint Louis County appears in high detail on this 2012 survey, revealing a dense network of residential municipalities and educational institutions. From the southern boundary near Clayton and Richmond Heights, the map traces the sprawl northward through University City and the campus of Washington University. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, including the large Washington Park Cemetery near the airport approach and the clustered Valhalla Cemetery, Saint Peters Cemetery, and Greenwood Cemetery.

Major transportation corridors like Page Ave and Forest Park Pkwy bisect neighborhoods such as Hanley Hills and Pasadena Hills. Landmark features include the Saint Louis Galleria and the high-elevation Vilhauer Bluff, while smaller watercourses like Coldwater Creek and Moline Creek provide the primary natural drainage amidst the urban development. The presence of numerous civic buildings, from the Timothy M Gaffney Post Office to the University City Senior High School, provides a clear view of the mid-20th-century civic layout that still defines these communities today.
