About this map

Babler State Park and the rugged Rockwoods Reservation dominate this landscape, reflecting a mid-century period of land conservation and recreational development in St Louis Co. Between the Missouri River to the north and the Meramec River to the south, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and hollows, including Rabbit Hollow and Pinnoak Hollow. Small settlements like Melrose and Petersville are shown alongside local landmarks such as Bethel Ch and St Pauls Ch.

Evidence of the area's changing transportation is found in the Old Railroad Grade near Glencoe and the prominent Manchester Road. Industrial and institutional presence is noted through the La Salle Institute and a local Substation, while the southern corridor through Allenton and Eureka shows a concentration of rail and road infrastructure near the Meramec. Researchers can also locate the Allen Cem near Flat Creek.
