About this map

Musicks Ferry marks a point of historic transit where the Missouri River bends along the northern border of St. Louis County. This 2017 survey details a landscape of established suburban density and educational institutions, including the Saint Louis Community College-Florissant Valley and Saint Louis Christian College. The map is particularly useful for genealogists and local historians, as it documents numerous burial sites such as Saint Ferdinand Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the historic Cold Water Cem near the Old Jamestown CDP.

From the river-carved Pelican Island and Car of Commerce Chute in the north to the busy residential corridors of Florissant and Ferguson in the south, the map illustrates the complex infrastructure of northern St. Louis. Named neighborhoods like Shoveltown and Cross Keys appear alongside major thoroughfares such as Shackelford Rd and Old Halls Ferry Rd, showing how modern developments have integrated with older land divisions.
