1954 Map of Kampville

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the northern edge of this landscape, carving out a complex of low-lying islands including Two Branch Island, Apple Island, and Dardenne Island. To the south, the terrain transitions from the alluvial floodplain of the Portage Des Sioux toward the rising bluffs of St Charles. The area is a mosaic of mid-century infrastructure and older river settlements, where the Burlington Northern and Norfolk And Western railroads parallel the river's course. Local life is anchored by landmarks like Kampville Sch and Friedens Ch, while the riverbank reveals historical access points such as McCann Landing and Fruitland Landing. Revisions in the mid-1970s illustrate the suburban expansion around St Peters and the city of St. Charles, contrasting the established agricultural levees with new residential footprints and features like the local Drive-in Theater.
