1915 Map of Crystal City
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Crystal City and neighboring Festus serve as the industrial anchors of this landscape, situated where the high bluffs overlook the Mississippi River. In the early twentieth century, the region's economy was defined by its mineral wealth and river-rail connections, illustrated by the presence of Silica and Hematite, and the specialized works at Valles Mines. The St. Louis - San Francisco Railway and the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Railway weave through the rugged drainages of Joachim Creek and Plattin Creek, providing the vital links necessary for the area's glass-making and mining sectors.
