About this map

Festus and Crystal City serve as the primary hubs in this modern-era study of eastern Jefferson County, Missouri. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Joachim Creek and Plattin Creek, which have historically influenced the development of surrounding communities like Silica, Ludwig, and Bailey. While the northern section of the map showcases the dense residential and industrial footprint of the Twin Cities, the southern reaches transition into a more dispersed settlement pattern including the rural enclave of Plattin and the planned residential layout of Olympian Village.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites, ranging from the large Roselawn Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery in the north to smaller family and community landmarks like Baker Cemetery and McClain Cemetery. The map also captures the essential transportation infrastructure of the 21st century, from the Festus Memorial Airport to the intricate network of suburban roads such as Mapaville Hematite Rd and Blue Ridge Trce.
