About this map

The Meramec River cuts through this densely settled portion of St. Louis County, marking the transition from the plateau-like residential heights of Kirkwood and Des Peres down to the river bottoms at Valley Park and Fenton. By the early 21st century, the landscape is defined by its complex network of interconnected municipalities, including Glendale, Town and Country, and Sunset Hills.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous community landmarks and resting places, such as Oak Hill Cemetery and the Father Dickson Cemetery. The map documents the intensive land use of the era, from the established neighborhoods of Meacham Park and Windsor Springs to the retail hub at the Crestwood Plaza Post Office. Waterways like Grand Glaize Creek and Fenton Creek continue to shape the local topography despite heavy suburban development.
