About this map

Herculaneum and the surrounding Jefferson County landscape are defined by the convergence of several waterways as they meet the Mississippi River. This eastern Missouri survey documents a network of small communities including Imperial, Barnhart, and Pevely, linked by the prominent corridor of Metropolitan Blvd. The area exhibits a mix of residential development and traditional institutional landmarks, such as the Imperial Post Office and the Abbey Monastery Rd leading toward the riverbank.

Genealogists will find a concentration of burial sites including Emmanuel Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and Mahlers Cemetery, reflecting the long-established settlement of the Joachim Creek and Sandy Creek valleys. Water resources are central to the terrain, featuring recreation and industry-linked bodies like Teamsters Lake, Pevely Lake, and Lake Horine. From the northern reaches of Antonia to the southern edge at Mapaville, the map records a suburban-rural landscape in a period of modern connectivity.
