2018 Map of French Village

About this map

Belleville and its surrounding communities sit at a transition between the low-lying American Bottoms and the rising bluffs of the Signal Hill area. This 2018 survey documents a densely layered landscape of suburban expansion and historic sites, including numerous memorial grounds such as Saint Clair Memorial Park and Mount Carmel Cem. The drainage patterns of Harding Ditch and Schoenberger Cr define the lower elevations near Grand Marais Lake, while the upland terrain is marked by geographic features like Clarks Mound and Negro Hollow. Modern transit infrastructure is represented by the Metrolink rail corridor, which connects established neighborhoods like French Village, Edgemont, and Washington Park. The presence of small aviation facilities like Aero Estates Airport and Ben Emge Airport reflects the diverse land use of Saint Clair County.
