2015 Map of Festus

About this map

Festus and Crystal City serve as the primary hubs for this Jefferson County corridor, where the confluence of several creek systems dictated early settlement patterns. This 2015 data illustrates the developed landscape along the winding course of Joachim Creek and Plattin Creek, showcasing the density of local heritage sites. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Roselawn Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and the Old Town Cemetery near the heart of the city. To the west, the topography transitions toward smaller communities like Hematite and Olympian Village, while the northeast reflects the industrial and residential growth of Herculaneum. The presence of the Festus Memorial Airport and numerous rural cemeteries like Sunnyside Cemetery and McCormack Cemetery provides a clear view of how modern transportation and historic family plots coexist in this part of Missouri.
