The confluence of the Mississippi River and the Missouri River dominates this 2012 landscape, where the shifting waters have carved a complex network of islands and sloughs. Near the northern boundary, West Alton sits positioned between the two great rivers, supported by landmarks like the West Alton Post Office and the Immaculate Conception Cemetery. To the south, the suburban expansion of St. Louis County is evident in organized communities such as Spanish Lake, Glasgow Village, and Castle Point, while the industrial and agricultural heritage of the region persists at the City of Saint Louis Bellefontaine Farm.
