1979 Map of Foristell

About this map

Foristell serves as the central point of interest on this 1979 orthophotoquad, which uses aerial photography to document the landscape of western St. Charles and eastern Warren counties. The town is situated along a major transportation corridor that cuts across the terrain, illustrating the relationship between infrastructure and the undulating Missouri countryside. This specific edition provides an unfiltered visual record of land use, where the wooded valleys and cleared agricultural fields are clearly delineated. The winding course of Peruque Creek flows through the southern portion of the sheet, while the Fifth Principal Meridian serves as the primary longitudinal baseline for the regional land survey. Because this is an orthophotograph rather than a standard topographic line map, it offers researchers a distinct look at actual vegetation cover and farmstead layouts at the close of the 1970s.
