1993 Map of Danby

About this map

Danby and the surrounding borderlands of Jefferson and Ste. Genevieve counties are defined by a network of hollows and creeks draining toward the Mississippi R. This landscape, documented in the 1990s, reveals a rural character shaped by small family-named sites and industrial pockets, including a Quarry and Tailings Pond in the northeast. The distribution of family burial grounds such as Baker Cemetery and Moeller Cemetery provides a clear view of the area's genealogical footprint. Natural features like Skaggs Spring and the winding Isle du Bois Creek dictate the settlement patterns, while the development at Valley View near Sunset Lake suggests a shift toward modern residential clusters amidst the traditional hollows like Hocum Hollow and Prentiss Hollow.
