About this map

Lawrenceton sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned where the drainage of Fourche a Du Clos meets the broken topography of Pinhook Hollow and Pine Ridge. The map documents a predominantly rural and residential character across the boundary of Ste. Genevieve and St. Francois counties. Evidence of early family settlement is clear through the numerous small burial grounds distributed across the terrain, including the Bequette Cemetery, Jenning Cemetery, and Patterson Cemetery.

To the south, the settlement of Mill and the heights of Little Vine Hill overlook the winding course of Terre Bleue Cr. The northeast quadrant shows more modern residential development near Goose Cr Lake, while the eastern edge features the community of Grayhawk adjacent to Lake Ski. The network of watercourses, from Bear Cr to Establishment Cr, defines the local geography, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that historically influenced the placement of farms and small crossroad communities in this part of Missouri.
