2023 Map of Herculaneum

About this map

Joachim Creek and Sandy Creek carve through this section of Jefferson County, defining a landscape where valley settlements like Pevely, Horine, and Herculaneum sit between rising ridges. This 2023 survey documents a modern infrastructure overlaying a deep network of early Missouri family and congregational history. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including the Daniel Dunklin Grave Historic Site and numerous denominational grounds such as the Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem and Assumption Catholic Cem. The map illustrates the transition from older corridors like Old Hwy 21 and Sulphur Springs Rd to contemporary transit patterns, while rural school locations like the McNutt School anchor the memory of smaller outlying communities like Munsons and Jarvis.
