2017 Map of House Springs

About this map

The Big River and Meramec River systems define the geography of this northern Jefferson County region, where high ridges and creek valleys dictated the growth of early settlements. By the early 21st century, communities like House Springs and Byrnes Mill show a transition from their rural origins toward established residential areas. The landscape is dotted with private water bodies, including Volumer Lake, Lake Montowese, and Lake Secon, many associated with planned residential enclaves like Echo Lake Ranch. Along the river bends, features such as Rockford Beach and Hoene Spring highlight the area's long-standing connection to the waterways. In the north, the terrain rises toward High Ridge and Peaceful Village, while the ST Louis Co and Jefferson Co border cuts through the northwestern corner near Eureka, marking the transition into the greater St. Louis metropolitan fringe.
