About this map

Florissant and the surrounding north St. Louis County suburbs are shown here in a period of dense residential maturity, bounded to the north by the sweeping curves of the Missouri River. The landscape transitions from the heavy suburban grids of Hazelwood and Berkeley in the south to the more topographical and riparian character near Car of Commerce Chute. This survey captures the complex road networks that define these communities, contrasting the busy southern transit corridors near Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport with the quieter, historically named areas like Musicks Ferry and Black Walnut along the riverbanks.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of several prominent sites. The Coldwater Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery provide primary points of reference for researchers, while smaller named localities like Black Jack, Shoveltown, and Cross Keys preserve the identity of neighborhood centers within the larger municipal fabric. From the geological curiosities of the Sinks to the residential expansion around Calverton Park, the map documents the area's modern infrastructure and its enduring connection to the river.
