About this map

Danby and the surrounding rural landscapes of Ste. Genevieve County are documented in this 2012 survey, revealing a network of small settlements and family burial grounds that anchor the local heritage. The terrain is defined by winding drainage systems such as South Fork Isle du Bois Creek and Kinsey Creek, which carve through various hollows including Prentiss Hollow and Hog Spring Hollow. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns and the placement of community landmarks.

Genealogists will find the distribution of historical cemeteries particularly significant, with sites like Baker Cemetery, Concord Cemetery, and Bockenkamp Cemetery scattered across the countryside. The geography is further punctuated by localized water features such as Skaggs Spring and Werners Sunset Lake, while the unincorporated communities of Valley View and Kinsey serve as the primary human centers in this predominantly agricultural and forested region.
