About this map

Farmington serves as the focal point of this 1960s study, revealing a well-established civic and institutional landscape in St. Francois County. The town is densely detailed with numerous schools, including Jefferson Sch and St Josephs High Sch, alongside significant public facilities like State Hospital No 4 and the Farmington Airport. The local economy of the mid-20th century is evidenced by Quarries and Mine No 10, while social life is represented by the St Francois Country Club and a Drive-in Theater.

A remarkable number of family and community burial grounds, such as Cunningham Cem and Patterson Cem, are scattered across the surrounding countryside, providing a rich resource for genealogists. The transport network is anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad and the Missouri Illinois line, connecting settlements like Delassus, Hurryville, and Esther. The terrain is shaped by the St Francois River and heights such as Wiggins Hill, which overlook a mix of agricultural land and wooded patches.
