1972 Map of Foristell

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor anchors this survey of eastern Missouri, passing directly through the community of Foristell. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Peruque Creek and Dardenne Creek, which cut through the townships of Cuivre and Hickory Grove. Local industry is evidenced by several scattered Claypit operations, while the Mid America Raceway occupies a large tract north of the rail line. Genealogists will find significant value in the family and community burial grounds, including Metcalf Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and the Pauldingville Cem near the settlement of Pauldingville. Numerous named rural routes like Stringtown Road and Meinershagen Road provide a detailed look at the local transport network connecting historic churches such as Smith Chapel and Shiloh Ch during the early 1970s.
