2015 Map of Labadie

About this map

The Missouri River cuts a wide path through the border of Franklin and Saint Charles counties, defining the character of this mid-Missouri landscape. Along its northern banks, the Katy Trl follows the old rail corridor through Matson and Klondike, where Klondike Lake sits near the river's edge. This area is marked by significant alluvial terrain like Darst Bottoms and Hancock Bottom, which have historically supported the region's agricultural interests. South of the river, the landscape transitions into the hills around Labadie and Gray Summit, where the Union Pacific RR provides a primary transportation artery. The presence of the Labadie Power Plant Reservoir highlights the industrial footprint near Labadie Bottoms, while established communities like Saint Albans and Augusta anchor the residential and commercial life of the river valley. Numerous smaller waterways, including Fiddle Creek and Tavern Cr, drain the upland areas into the main river channel.
